Scholarships are at the core of the efforts of the Friends of Hellenic Studies. Over the years, tens of thousands of dollars have been given to help offset the cost of tuition, as well as send students abroad to Greece, Italy and Turkey. The experiences give them unique advatanges, and spur them on to continuing studies.
The Friends of Hellenic Studies meet monthly in the new Constantelos Hellenic Collection and Reading Room, to the foundation of which they contributed $100,000. They work all year to raise money provide scholarships to students of Hellenic Studies and cultivate the enthusiasm of the Hellenic Studies community.
The current Board Members are:
