Inspired by the career and the ethos of the Antetokounmpo brothers, the Onassis Foundation establishes One of a Kind, a new undergraduate scholarship for young people who were born in Greece but have still to secure Greek nationality or have received it within the last five years.

In recognition of the Antetokounmpo brothers' contributions to sport and of their successful careers, and in the light of their social starting point, the Onassis Foundation announced that it would be sponsoring one (1) Special Scholarship for undergraduate studies in the Greek Higher Education sector.

It wasn't just the Antetokounmpo brothers' success that inspired this collaboration, but also the qualities the two Greek athletes embody: modesty, competitiveness, passion, hard work and an intention to help those who, despite their desire to get ahead in life, find themselves held back by social and economic exclusion.

The special One of a Kind undergraduate scholarship, and the collaboration with Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo, seek to send out a symbolic message: we need to try and change the way we think. Because you do not have to be born Greek—you can become Greek, too.

Please note that the Announcement for the program can be found in the Greek version of the website.
