Voice of a New Generation: Transforming Armenia’s Media Landscape with AUA

NEW YORK—The American University of Armenia (AUA) is pleased to announce the launch of its new campaign, Voice of a New Generation: Transforming Armenia’s Media Landscape with AUA. This bold initiative aims to raise $2 million to create an endowed scholarship fund in support of students studying in the University’s newly launched Master of Arts in Multiplatform Journalism program.

Recognizing the vital role of a strong, independent and innovative media sector in shaping the nation’s democratic future, AUA founded the Center for Excellence in Journalism in 2023, funded by the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan. This initiative was followed in 2024 by the establishment of the University’s state-of-the-art Media Lab, made possible through an $813,135 grant from the Office of American Schools and Hospitals Abroad of the U.S. Agency for International Development. This new campaign builds upon this foundation and reflects the University’s deep commitment to nurturing the next generation of journalists who will inform, inspire and empower communities across Armenia and beyond.
