The Board of Regional Directors of the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) of Eastern USA, Inc. has announced the recipients of the ARS Undergraduate Scholarships and Lazarian Graduate Scholarships for the 2019-2020 school year.

This year, the ARS of Eastern USA awarded over $50,000 to 40 students from 14 states.
