4Financial Distributions for U.S.-Canada Scholarships

With 24 undergraduate scholarships at $1,200 each and 4 graduate scholarships at $1,700 each, a total of $35,600 was available for scholarship awards to eligible students in the U.S. and Canada for academic year 2004-2005.

Financial Distributions for Greek Scholarships

The selection of the Greek scholarships recipients is still pending at this time as the committee is working with the Foundation in order to be certain that all the criteria for the Lacas scholarships recipients are met. Special Non Recurring Undergraduate and Graduate Recipients ($1,200 each)

This year brought to us an exceptionally gifted group of applicants for scholarships; it proved to be a difficult task for the scholarship committee to select who the recipients would be as many bright students would be left not receiving any assistance. The delegates of various chapters and some individuals at this year’s convention upon hearing of this situation generously pledged a total of 16 one time scholarships of $1,200 each for the students who were not awarded a scholarship initially. Of these 16 one time scholarships 12 have been awarded for this year and 4 will carry over into next year. The Foundation at this time is still in the process of receiving the funds for these scholarships which have been pledged, these scholarships will be sent out to the recipients as the funds become available. The Scholarship Committee would like to thank the generosity of the chapters and individuals who made these special one time scholarships available.

6Notes of Thanks

The Chair of the Scholarship Committee would like to extend his thanks and appreciation to his colleagues on the committee, Dr. Louis Klarevas and Terry Platis, for their all their time, effort and input in making the scholarship process run smoothly. The Chair would like to also to thank Pan-Icarian Foundation Chairman Anthony Kayafas, Vice Chairman Socrates Koutsoutis and Directors Gus Yiakas, John Lygizos and Chris Aivaliotis for their assistance and continued commitment to the scholarship program. I would also be remiss if I did not thank Yiannis Tsantes who has been the backbone to the Brotherhood’s Greek scholarship program. Last but not least I would like to thank all of you out there who through your hard work and generosity have made the Pan Icarian Scholarship Program the largest and most successful by a wide margin of any that I know of that exists in the Greek community. This is truly a notable accomplishment when we consider the size of the Icarian community relative to that which comprises other Greek organizations.
