New college scholarship for Greek American students
| Dear all,
I am pleased to announce the call for applications for the Archimedes Award — a new college scholarship for outstanding Greek American students pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) related fields.
This is the very first scholarship to be offered through the Next Generation Initiative. We are proud that the founder of the Archimedes Award, Dr. Andrew Economos, has chosen to make the Next Generation Initiative the home for the Archimedes Award — and delighted that we can now offer this new means to advance the careers of young men and women in our community, in areas of such vital interest to our nation.
Please help us get the word out — by using the links below to share this news with your friends and family, and forward this email to anyone you think would want to know about this new scholarship.
Thank you,
Leon Stavrou
Executive Director

| ABOUT THE ARCHIMEDES AWARD
To be eligible for the Archimedes Award scholarship, candidates must be graduating high school seniors of Hellenic heritage on track to be first-year university students, who will be pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering or math at a recognized institution of higher learning in the United States.
Award guidelines call for candidates to apply online and complete their applications for the Archimedes Award by March 1, 2015, in order to be considered for a 2015-16 scholarship. Finalists will be selected by an independent committee of university professors and experts with records of experience in STEM education, from the University of California at Davis, Fairfield University, the Stevens Institute of Technology, Old Dominion University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Archimedes Award was founded by high-tech entrepreneur Dr. Andrew Economos, a strong supporter of education who is stepping forward to help young Greek Americans who share his passion for science and learning, and encourage Hellenic American students to excel in these fields. |
