The Armenian Women’s Educational Club recently announced that it is accepting applications for four $1,000 scholarships from high school senior boys and girls entering a four-year college in the fall of 2011.
Applicants may be male or female, and must be of Armenian descent; greater Boston highschool students; U.S. citizens or resident aliens; and accepted at a four-year college or university for the current year. The recipients of the $1,000 scholarships will be selected on the basis of their academic record and financial need.
Students may request scholarship application forms by calling Araxie Manjikian at (781) 937-0515. Applications must be received by April 30, 2011. The scholarships will be awarded in June.
The Armenian Women’s Educational Club was founded 75 years ago for the purpose of providing scholarships to college students, first in the Middle East and for the past 30 years in the United States. Started by a group of Armenian immigrant women, many from the Armenian Memorial Church who wanted to support education, the Club has awarded over $100,000 in scholarships to young people of Armenian heritage.
