Hye Sharzhoom Armenian Action
Staff Report
The Armenian Studies Program awarded scholarships to fifty-two students from forty different endowment or scholarship funds for a total of $110,000 for the academic year 2024-2025.
In addition to providing needed financial support, the scholarships encourage students to pursue a Minor in Armenian Studies and to enroll in the various course offerings.
We ask our students and our supporters to tell their friends and relatives about the Armenian Studies Scholarship Program and to encourage them to apply for the 2025-2026 academic year (application period will open in October of 2025).
Applying has become simplified and is entirely online through the University website at https://studentaffairs.fresnostate.edu/financialaid/scholarships/scholarshipapplication/index.html.
