In its nineteenth year championing education and empowering young Greek-American leaders, FAITH: An Endowment for Orthodoxy and Hellenism, awarded 96 FAITH Scholarships for Academic Excellence to the top graduating high school seniors and 72 FAITH Scholarships for Excellence in STEM.
FAITH Scholars demonstrate exemplary academic achievement, leadership within the Greek-American community, and a commitment to volunteerism and charitable works. The 2023 FAITH Scholars join a network of over 800 FAITH Scholar alumni from across the U.S. who embody FAITH’s mission of excellence in education.
“Joining this community does not only help me pay for my higher education but also exposes me to other like-minded individuals who are looking to make a difference in the world,” shared Sophia Thornberg, a 2023 FAITH Scholar studying Communications at the University of Loyola Maryland.
This year’s class set a new record in FAITH history – boasting the most valedictorians and National Merit Scholars and earning the highest average GPA of 3.82. Graduating in the top 10% of their class while maintaining an A-grade point average, all of the 2023 FAITH Scholars were enrolled in advanced-level courses and averaged in the 90th percentile on their AP, SAT, and ACT tests. Along with averaging 375 hours of community service, nearly all FAITH Scholars held elected positions in school clubs such as student council and robotics teams and in their communities, founding Greek clubs and leading Greek and Hellenic youth associations.
