The Peter Agris Memorial Journalism Scholarships are scholarship programs offered by the Alpha Omega Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Hellenic (Greek) culture and heritage. The scholarships are named in memory of Peter Agris, a prominent Greek-American journalist and publisher. The scholarship provides financial assistance to eligible students who are pursuing a degree in journalism or communications. The program awards up to $5,000 per year to eligible students who meet the program’s requirements.
Interested students can apply for the scholarship by submitting an application through the Alpha Omega Council website. The application typically opens in November and closes in February. Selection is based on academic achievement, community involvement, leadership potential, and commitment to promoting and preserving Hellenic heritage and culture.
In addition to the scholarship, the program provides opportunities for recipients to network with other Greek-American journalists and publishers, as well as access to career development resources.
