We are deeply honored to announce the establishment of the Christos M. Perakis Academic Scholarship Fund, created in memory of a cherished ACS Athens community member whose vision and integrity left a lasting mark on all who knew him.
Christos M. Perakis was more than a successful entrepreneur—he was a mentor, an advocate, and a believer in human potential. As a passionate supporter of Greece’s startup ecosystem, he dedicated himself to nurturing the next generation of innovators. Through hands-on mentorship and meaningful investment, Christos empowered countless young entrepreneurs to dream big and achieve even bigger.
But it was his character—defined by honesty, ethical leadership, and unwavering commitment to others—that truly set him apart. He brought out the best in people, leading with care, collaboration, and strategy. His legacy continues to inspire trust, confidence, and ambition.
The Christos M. Perakis Academic Scholarship Fund seeks to honor his memory by supporting a Greek applicant to ACS Athens, who embodies the qualities Christos championed: leadership with integrity, vision with action, and success with heart.
Applications are now open. We encourage students who reflect these values to apply and carry forward the spirit of Christos in their educational and professional journeys. The scholarship application is part of the ACS Athens admissions process.
