            JOHN PAKURIS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

 

The John Pakuris Memorial Scholarship offers a $2000 scholarship to one student who is a United States citizen and a member of the St. Luke Greek Orthodox Church of Broomall, Pennsylvania. This is a competitive scholarship based on merit and need with the award winner to be selected upon recommendation by the Scholarship Committee to the parish priest. Applicants must be accepted into an accredited four year college or university or an accredited graduate program either in the United States or in any other country. Candidates securing an advanced degree do not have to reside at the institution and could be engaged in distance learning. Any candidate who has been accepted into an orthodox seminary and is pursuing a life in the ministry of our Greek Orthodox Church will be given first priority. Recipients may re-apply in successive years for the scholarship.
