Additionally, there are George & Marie Vergottis scholarship programs available exclusively to Greek students  at five highly selective and disinguished educational institutions.

 

Please note that the scholarship and fellowship programmes at the institutions below are managed and awarded directly and independently by each respective institution. As a rule, an interested student has to follow a two-step process ...

 

 (a) apply first for Admission, and

 

 (b) if Entrance is granted, he or she may qualify for "George and Marie Vergottis" scholarship funding by applying for financial assistance.

 

Any questions relating to the Admission and Financial Aid process should be addressed directly to each institution. The Foundation's Board can not and does not interfere with the selection process. Scholarship programmes have been established at the following institutions:
