PRESS RELEASE
SCHOLARSHIPS IN MEMORY OF GEORGIA POLYVIOU
Alkionides Charity announces that it is offering undergraduate university scholarships in memory of its late president, Georgia Polyviou.
The scholarships will be offered every year to graduates of public secondary schools for fulltime undergraduate degrees at higher public and private educational institutions (universities) in Cyprus and at higher public educational institutions (universities and polytechnics) in Greece. A different high school will be selected each year. In 2022, two scholarships were offered to graduates of Ayios Antonios Lyceum in Limassol who secured the top two positions after a committee from the charity evaluated all the applications.
Some remarks from the two winners:
“I am deeply grateful to Alkionides Charity for offering me a scholarship for the entirety of my studies. This scholarship is decisive in allowing me to persevere in my academic goals without financial constraints. The support offered is crucial to my ability to continue my studies and fulfil my dreams. The scholarship not only allows me to distinguish myself academically but also imbues me with a sense of responsibility and appreciation in the value of education. I very much appreciate Alkionides’ investment in my future and will always cherish their generosity and support. Moreover, this scholarship not only makes my academic journey possible but gives me a sense of purpose and motivation to succeed in all aspects of my life. Now, with the support of Alkionides Charity, I can make steady steps towards the attainment of my goals and proceed with confidence towards professional success.”
