EOCS Announces Recipients of 2008 Scout Scholarships


The Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting [EOCS], a SCOBA agency, announces the selection of the winners of the sixteenth annual Scout Scholarships. The 2008 winners are Anastasia C. Markiw, of Pittsburgh, PA and the runner-up Samuel C. Ely of Merrillville, IN. who received $1,000 and $500 respectively.

The eligibility requirements for these awards are: be a registered active member of a Boy or Girl Scout unit, have earned the Eagle Scout Award for boys or the Gold Award for girls, be an active member of an Eastern Orthodox Church, have earned the Alpha Omega Religious Scout Award, and a senior in high school.

They are evaluated on their participation in their church, school, community and Scouting unit. The emphasis is on their scholastic achievement and not on financial need. This was a banner year for applicants from throughout the United States. The committee was impressed with the high caliber and number of applicants.

For further information and 2009 applications, write: EOCS Scholarship Chairman, 862 Guy Lombardo Avenue, Freeport, New York, 11520.
