The Board of Regional Directors of the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) of Eastern USA, Inc. this week announced the recipients of the ARS Lazarian Graduate and Undergraduate Scholarships for the school year 2013-24.
The scholarships are based on merit, financial need, and involvement in the Armenian community. Recipients must be of Armenian descent and enrolled in a four-year college or university in the U.S. This year, the ARS of Eastern USA awarded over $24,000 to 24 students from 9 states.
The ARS Undergraduate Scholarship Fund was established through the generous donations of numerous benefactors who provided the financial resources necessary for the ARS to assist Armenian undergraduate students for over three decades.
In addition, the ARS George and Beatrice Lazarian Graduate Scholarship Fund has granted hundreds of scholarships to deserving graduate students.
The ARS, founded in 1910, is a non-profit, charitable organization comprised of Armenians who volunteer their time and effort to support the educational and humanitarian needs of the Armenian people throughout the world. The ARS Eastern USA consists of 1,200 members in 32 chapters, located throughout the states east of the Mississippi River.
