Panhellenic scholarship available for 2021-2022

The Youngstown Alumnae Panhellenic is offering a $500 scholarship for the 2021-2022 school year to an undergraduate who is an active member of a National Panhellenic Conference sorority.

The applicant must be a full-time sophomore, junior, or non-graduating senior woman and a resident from Mahoning, Trumbull, or Columbiana counties.

The award will be based on scholarship, leadership, and sorority participation. The award will be paid directly to the university’s financial affairs office. The deadline for applications is March 31. Applications are available at www. youngstownalumnaepanhellenic.weebly.com.

The Youngstown Alumnae Panhellenic Association awarded its 2019-2020 scholarship to Jensen Kniska, a member of Delta Zeta Sorority at Youngstown State University. She was the organization’s 169th scholarship recipient.

The Youngstown Alumnae Panhellenic Association provided its first scholarship in 1926. Since 1976, the scholarship’s focus has been for an active member of a National Panhellenic Conference sorority/fraternity.

The Youngstown Alumnae Panhellenic Association has reached $25,000 to fund its scholarship endowment, which is held by the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley. The scholarship will be given in perpetuity for the education of Greek women.
