NEW YORK – The members of the Scholarship Committee of the Cyprus Children’s Fund (CCF) with Chairman Charles Anastasiou have selected 26 students for the 2018 Scholarship Award recipients for a total sum of $65,000; the annual scholarships make the organization one of the major supporters of Hellenic students. The Cyprus Children’s Fund is a tax exempt 501c3 institution.

Chairman of the Committee Charles Anastasiou said, “Through our Scholarship Fund, we are very happy to have offered awards to Greek and Cypriot students in need for over 35 years. Our Committee’s work this year was particularly challenging given the large number of high quality applications we reviewed. We are delighted to be able to help them with their studies at U.S. colleges and universities, and are counting on them to be future leaders. Congratulations to all the award recipients!”

This year, the organization added two Special Scholarships in Memory of Peter J. Pappas, a great supporter and former CCF president, and Dennis Droushiotis former CCF Board of Directors member and Cyprus’ Trade Commissioner for many years in New York. This award was co funded by the U.S.-Cyprus Chamber of Commerce.
