Under the direction of the St. Demetrios Parish Council, the Education, Youth and Cultural Committee (EYCC) designed the parameters of the scholarship and will manage the application, selection and award process. This year, a $ 1,500.00 will be awarded to one or more deserving students. Visit the St. Demetrios website at stdemetrios.org to apply before the May 1st deadline.
