About the Foundation

Our Mission: Bridging Two Worlds

Our Scholarship Foundation seeks to combine and utilize the highest principles of the American and Hellenic traditions in order to help develop Greek Americans into outstanding citizens, through the promotion of higher education.

In this way, these Greek Americans, proud of their ethnic heritage, are encouraged to participate actively in, and contribute meaningfully to American society, distinguishing not only themselves, but all Hellenes as well.

Our Directors and Administration

The PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation is an Illinois non-profit corporation with an IRS designation of 501(c)(3). It is administered by a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee (Officers). A separate Advisory Board representing various disciplines provides guidance and support.

Selection of Award recipients is made by an Academic Committee appointed by the Board of Directors. This Committee works independently and makes its decisions based on the established criteria. Members of the Board of Directors, Officers, the Advisory Board and employees of the Foundation may not serve on the Academic Committee.

The Scholarship Fund

Our Foundation is made possible by the commitment of Chicago-based businessman and philanthropist Chris P. Tomaras, with additional funds from Chicago business and community leader John Apostolou and other private donors and friends of the Foundation. The realization of our Mission depends on the continued generosity of members of our community, and friends like you.
