Karl’s Cabin Scholarship

Our scholarship was created in 2016 to honor Karl Poulos, the founder of Karl's Cabin. A Greek immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1955, Karl lived the American dream. Mr. Poulos worked in kitchens for over 50 years bringing joy to all his guests. A product of the Greatest Generation, he was a kind, humble and a hardworking man who always put his family first.
