On April 6, 2010, AGBU handed out scholarships to 23 outstanding students of the French University of Armenia. The financial assistance provided by AGBU was worth $30,000 and covered the 2009-2010 academic year.

Rector of the University Joëlle le Morzelec stated why the scholarship event is significant to the university. "The presence of the president of the AGBU is of great importance for us. He honored us by coming here and granting scholarships to our students. I consider it an evaluation of the work of our university," she said. Le Morzelec noted that graduates of the university are granted both an Armenian state diploma and a French national diploma. She also emphasized that the majority of the graduates find jobs easily. "We help our graduates become tomorrow’s leaders," the rector stated.

AGBU president Berge Setrakian spoke about the importance of universities such as the French University in Armenia, describing them as the wealth of the country. "Being a graduate of a French university, I am sure it has its important place in the educational system of Armenia," said Setrakian. AGBU and the French University of Armenia have been working closely together since 2004.
