Chrysiliou’s goal with the scholarship is not just to provide financial assistance, but to encourage introspection, storytelling, and goal setting among young learners. The essay prompt is intentionally open-ended, allowing students to share their unique motivations, personal stories, and aspirations.

About Chrysilios Chrysiliou
Chrysilios Chrysiliou was born in Cyprus in 1961. In the wake of the 1974 conflict that made him a war refugee at 13, Chrysilios decided he would forge a life defined by opportunity, freedom, and flight. Accepted into the Greek Air Force Academy at 17, he honed his aviation skills and cultivated a mindset focused on precision, discipline, and resilience.
In the early 1980s, Chrysilios immigrated to the United States. Here, he obtained his civilian flight instructor’s license and soon co-owned a thriving flight school in Southern California. Leading a fleet of over 20 aircraft, mentoring aspiring pilots, and earning FAA commendations, he established himself as a respected figure in aviation.
When life’s unpredictable challenges—such as the Northridge earthquake—forced him to reinvent himself, Chrysilios channeled his entrepreneurial mindset into new ventures. He explored the world of import/export before ultimately finding his home in commercial real estate at RDPH Properties, Inc. Today, he applies the same strategic thinking, adaptability, and integrity he brought to aviation into identifying promising real estate opportunities and guiding his company to success.
Throughout his life, Chrysilios has shown that perseverance, adaptability, and access to education can transform adversity into opportunity. By founding the Chrysilios Chrysiliou STEM Scholarship, he extends this legacy—empowering students to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams through education and innovation.
