The Hellenic American Medical and Dental Society of California (HAMDS) is excited to announce an endowed scholarship in honor of Dr. Demetreos N. Halikis, former HAMDS President. The Demetreos N. Halikis, M.D. Scholarship is being funded and endowed through the generosity of Dr. Halikis’s son, Dr. Mark Halikis, his wife Janice, and their family.
HAMDS has awarded 149 ‘Sparky Vamvas’ Scholarships to 79 men and 70 women medical and dental students of Hellenic descent, totaling over $200,000 since its inception in 1988. With the Halikis’s gift to establish the Demetreos N. Halikis, M.D. Scholarship, we will be able to significantly advance the scholarship mission of HAMDS.
As we move closer to the 2016 Scholarship Ceremony & Entertainment Dinner scheduled for December 3rd, HAMDS looks forward to awarding a worthy candidate the first Halikis Scholarship.
