Report of 2002 EOCS Scholarship Winners

The selection of the Tenth Annual EOCS Scholarship winners was delayed because of number of applications from thought the country and the fact that there was a tie between three of the finalists. The scholarship provides a first place and a second place winner for $1000 and $500 respectively. After much deliberation the committee decided to recognize all three as winners and split the total awards equally thus each received a check for $500.

The 2002 EOCS Scholarship winners are:

Colin Athansios Chambers, of Kansas City, MO and is attending William Jewell College in Liberty, MO. He is a member of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Kansas City, MO.

Georgios Theophanous, of Lafayette CA, and is attending Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He is a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, Concord, CA.

Michael P. Whitaker, Schrewsbury, MA, and is attending M.I.T., Cambridge, MA, He is a member of Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, of the OCA jurisdiction, Maryland MA.

All three have shown outstanding service to their parish, community, along with deep involvement and participation in high school activities. The individual scouting records and leadership abilities along with their scholastic achievements makes us proud of this future generation.

We wish them continued success in their future endeavors.
