The ARS Inc. office received many thank you notes from the scholarship recipients, as it has every year it has given out the Eremian Scholarship.
Thank you for awarding me the Eremian Scholarship to assist me in my academic year of 06-07,” wrote University of California, Berkeley student Khatchadour Khatchadourian. “This award will help me perform my best in school, by not worrying about getting a job to pay for my tuition and focusing on academics. Having been given the chance, I would like to tell you that I am planning on continuing my studies on the Middle East and Anthropology with major emphasis on Armenian-Middle Eastern issues. I plan to travel to Armenia this summer of 2007 to conduct a three-month research on Armenian foreign relations, and possibly an ethnographic study of Armenian culture. Your scholarship motivates me to continue, and it pushes me to do my best. For that, I am really grateful.”
Applications for the 2007 Eremian Scholarship must be received by the ARS Inc. office by May 31, 2007. For information, or an application, call your local ARS office.
