Order Of Ahepa District 10 Educational Foundation

Chris and Betty Baryames Scholarship “Chris and Betty were proud of their Greek Heritage. Their family’s birth places were Sparta and Tripoli, and they named their house, Little Sparta. They raised their four children with strong Greek values. They also valued education and believed in helping others. Their hope was this scholarship would go to a deserving Greek youth to further their studies.” -Sparty Baryames-

C.Gus & Marge Paron Memorial Scholarship “My husband was a long-time member of AHEPA, and a firm believer in higher education. He would be proud of the scholarship established in his name and mine by our children. Many members of our family have received the AHEPA District #10 Scholarship and benefited from the generosity of AHEPA and their gracious donors. This is our way of paying it forward to assist the future of our Hellenic youth. Thanks to the Ahepans for all their work and dedication throughout the years to establish and offer educational scholarships." - Marge Paron -

Nicholas A. & Helen Masters Scholarship “As a tribute and to honor the memory of our late parents, this scholarship fund was established. Dad was a member of the Sons of Pericles and then the AHEPA. Mom rose from President of the Maids of Athena, to the Daughters of Penelope, to becoming one of the first District Governors of the State of Michigan. She was instrumental in initiating many chapters including the Ann Arbor Chapter. Our parents were strong believers in the value of higher education and were truly dedicated to the work of the AHEPA organization.” - Anita Penta and Dr. Alex Masters-

Bill & Dina Papanos Memorial Scholarship “I am very grateful to the AHEPA District #10 Educational Foundation for providing a way to honor my parents by providing a scholarship for college students. My parents were both born in Greece and did not have the opportunity to further their education. By recognizing student achievements and providing financial assistance for their education, my parents’ memory will continue in perpetuity.” -Georgia Stahl-

Frances Georgeson Memorial Scholarship: “Education was always very important to my mother and she wanted to establish a scholarship when she passed away. She was 12 when she came to this country, graduated from high school in 1940 and returned to college in 1969 to graduate with a master degree from Wayne State university. She was very proud when both my brother and I received partial scholarships to attend Grosse Pointe University School (now University Liggett) and when we both graduated from the University of Michigan. It was with great pride that we established a scholarship in her name. Thank you for all you do.” - Sandy Moisides

James and Helen Alexander Memorial Scholarship: ‘Jim and Helen Alexander had a strong sense of values and lived their lives accordingly. These values included the great importance of civic duty and of education. They were proud of their Greek heritage and their American citizenship. They each served many terms as presidents of their respective local AHEPA and DOP chapters and organized annual spring banquets honoring their graduates. This scholarship was initiated by them and proudly expanded in their honor.” - Dr. Thomas J. Alexander and Michael J. Alexander
