2008-09 Gioles Scholarships Applications Available
Applications are available for scholarships to be awarded from the George and Naouma (Gioule) Gioles Scholarship Fund of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The Gioles Scholarship Fund was established in 1997 with a generous gift in memory of George and Naouma Gioles. At least three scholarships of $1500.00 each will be awarded for the 2008-09 academic year. Selection of the recipients will be based on the following criteria:
Candidates must be of the Greek Orthodox faith (with preference to those of Greek descent) and must be high school seniors at time of application or full-time matriculated students committed to serious study in an undergraduate degree program at an accredited college or university.
Candidates must be firmly planning to commence or continue their studies, full time, at the college or university of their choice in the next academic year.
Candidates must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
Candidates must provide the Scholarship Committee with evidence of their scholastic standing, including transcript records with a grade level of at least a B, 85 percent or 3.0 average.
Candidates who are high school seniors must have achieved and must provide proof of a combined new SAT minimum score of 1500*, or older SAT minimum score of 1000. If the SAT is not administered, another measure used by the academic community, for example the ACT, should be substituted. College students must also submit both current college as well as high school transcripts, including their testing record of SAT and/or ACT scores. *NOTE: The new SAT writing section may be waived.
Candidates must submit an application to the Scholarship Committee and be available for an interview at the Committee's discretion. Applications must be filled out in their entirety. The committee will not consider incomplete applications.
Candidates must provide evidence of financial need. Preference will be given to candidates who are orphans and to those who are undertaking studies in the sciences, business and the arts, with one scholarship reserved for a candidate who has chosen to study journalism.
