housing for the elderly, AHEPA is where Greek Americans come
together to make a difference.
Education
is one of the cornerstones of AHEPA’s mission. AHEPA members
strive to create opportunities for young people to reach their
full potential. The Palmetto Chapter 284 is proud to offer
two scholarships
to help students achieve their education goals: the George A.
Boukedes Athletic Scholarship and the Dr. Daniel S. Kavadas Scholarship.

Culture (AFGLSC), the AHEPA Palmetto Chapter 284 is in the beginning
stages of establishing the AHEPA Center for Hellenic Studies at
the University of South Carolina. The Center will assist in promoting
the study of Hellenism at USC through the many academic fields
that define Greek society and culture.
