About Our Scholarships
Currently, the Maids of Athena are fortunate to be able to offer our members four scholarships based on their academic merit, Maids of Athena participation, and financial need. One application qualifies each eligible Sister for all four scholarships, which are judged by an independent set of judges that are not affiliated with the AHEPA Family. Details about each scholarship and recent recipients can be found below.
