Summary

The Miltiades and Alkistis Chryssavgis Scholarship is offered to first-year students in financial need and enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts.

About the donor

Born 22 February 1932, the Reverend Father Miltiades Chryssavgis studied History and Classics at the University of Melbourne. Granted a scholarship that supported his residence at Trinity College from 1952 to 1956, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), majoring in History and Classics. Receiving further support in 1956 he was awarded a scholarship for his Master of Arts degree, during which he studied texts of classical historians and the origin of the Greeks. Reciprocating the assistance he received while studying, in 2006, the Reverend Chryssavgis made donation to the Faculty of Arts, establishing a scholarship to support Arts students experiencing financial disadvantage. The fund is named for the Reverend Chryssavgis and his wife Alkistis.
