ARS Eastern USA Announces Scholarship Opportunities
Undergraduate and graduate students of Armenian descent are invited to apply for the Armenian Relief Society Eastern USA’s 2005 scholarships. Undergraduate students may apply for the Society’s Undergraduate scholarship awards and graduate students may apply for the Society’s Lazarian graduate scholarship.
Last year, the ARS Eastern USA awarded a total of $25,000 in scholarships to 16 students.
Separate graduate and undergraduate scholarship committees appointed by the ARS Board of Regional Directors evaluate all scholarship applications and recommend scholarship award recipients. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, financial need, and Armenian community involvement. Undergraduate and graduate scholarship applicants must be of Armenian descent. Undergraduate applicants must be enrolled in an accredited four-year college or university in the United States. Incomplete scholarship applications are not considered for any type of scholarship and students are solely responsible for ensuring that their scholarship file is complete.
These scholarship awards would not be possible without the generous donations of many benefactors to the ARS Educational Fund for undergraduate students and the ARS George and Beatrice Lazarian Graduate Scholarship Fund for graduate students. These restricted funds were established to provide the necessary financial resources to help the ARS Eastern USA help deserving Armenian undergraduate and graduate students pursue a brighter future for themselves to the benefit of the entire Armenian community.
Applications may be downloaded from the SCHOLARSHIP page of this web site or may be requested by contacting the ARS Regional office at 80 Bigelow Ave., Suite 200, Watertown, MA 02472; (617) 926-3801; arseastus@aol.com. All applications are due on April 1, 2005.
