ARFORA Scholarships and Projects

We would like to remind you that ARFORA offers annually three scholarships to women, and the applications are due no later than April 1st, 2027. The applications can be found at: https://roea.org/arfora-the-association-of-romanian-orthodox-ladies-auxiliaries-of-north-america/ To be eligible for any of these three ARFORA scholarships, the applicant students must belong to ROEA Parishes with Ladies Auxiliaries that are ARFORA Chapters with voting rights. In addition to the scholarships, ARFORA also supports the following projects: • St. Elizabeth Project, which provides widowed Preotese with small monetary gifts at Christmas, Pascha, and the Feast of St. Parascheva. • St. Parascheva Project, which supports the needs of newly formed missions in the Episcopate. If the Ladies Auxiliary at your Parish is not currently an ARFORA Chapter, please consider joining ARFORA! By being an active member of a Parish Ladies Auxiliary, you help ARFORA to offer these scholarship opportunities to women of our Episcopate as well as remembering our Episcopate’s widowed Preotese.
