Investing in a brighter future
The AGBU Scholarship Program is one of the organization's longest running initiatives, enabling thousands of young Armenians enrolled at leading colleges and universities to pursue their academic goals. As tuition and living costs increase, these awards ease the financial burdens that might otherwise stand in the way of a worthy student’s success.
In 2024 and 2025 alone, over 1,100 students benefitted from this critical source of giving.
Scholarships are sustained by new and longstanding endowments as well as singular donations.
From academicians and artists to doctors, engineers, and thought leaders, our alumni impact the world around them in a multitude of ways. They also develop the skills and expertise to give back to their communities and ancestral homeland as leaders, specialists and advisors. Read about our successful scholarship alumni:
AGBU Scholarships are made possible by the generosity of our donors. Contributions may be made to our scholarship general fund, or in the form of endowments or bequests.
Scholarship endowment funds have been a longstanding tradition since the 1920s. With a minimum donation of $25,000, you can establish a permanent fund in your name or in honor of a loved one. The principal balance is never spent, allowing a portion of the endowment’s yearly income to support the designated program in perpetuity.
