2000-2001 Scholarship Recipients

Staff Report

The Armenian Studies Program awarded scholarships and research grants from nine different endowment or scholarship funds and research grant for a total of $20,500. These scholarships encourage students to pursue minors in Armenian Studies and to enroll in the various course offerings. The number of applicants for Armenian scholarships has doubled for the next academic year, 2001-2002 .
