    Kalaydjian Foundation Launches University Scholarship Programme



    20th February 2009


    The Kalaydjian Foundation, a non-profit benevolent organisation based in
    Cyprus, is pleased to announce the start of two new programmes aimed at
    providing support for education at both secondary and advanced levels.

    As part of its efforts to provide targeted support in the present
    difficult economic climate, the Kalaydjian Foundation has decided to
    provide an annual grant to all Cypriot students who are graduates of
    Narek elementary schools and are currently enrolled or will be enrolled
    in private secondary schools in Cyprus. This assistance, up to
    =82¬400 per child, will be provided to all eligible applicants
    irrespective of their family's income level, starting from the
    academic year 2009-2010. Families who would be interested in receiving
    this grant should submit an application to Mr. Hagop Kasparian by
    September 30th at the latest. Mr. Kasparian can be contacted on
    00357-22-429306.

    The Foundation's second programme is a scholarship that will
    provide free post-graduate education to gifted Armenian Cypriot
    students. The primary aim of this programme is to allow talented
    students, who would otherwise not have the chance to continue their
    education, the opportunity to receive a Master's degree and
    therefore enhance significantly their career prospects. To that end, the
    Kalaydjian Foundation has signed a collaboration agreement with the
    American University of Armenia in Yerevan.

    The American University of Armenia (AUA) is a US-accredited educational
    institution affiliated with the University of California and located in
    Yerevan. AUA's academic programme provides English-language
    graduate education in Business and Management (MBA), Industrial
    Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies, Political
    Science, Health Sciences and Law.

    Since its inception in 1991, it has provided advanced education to over
    1,600 Armenians from all over the world. A major advantage is the fact
    that enrolled students from the diaspora live in the safe and beautiful
    city of Yerevan and make vital contacts and life-long friendships in
    their ancestral homeland.

    The Kalaydjian Foundation aims to send one Armenian Cypriot student
    every year to the AUA for higher education, starting from the academic
    year 2010-2011. It will provide a full scholarship that will cover the
    entire cost of tuition. It will also offer advice and assistance on
    other issues, such as accommodation in Yerevan. The deadline for
    applications is 31st March 2010. The admission criteria are stringent
    and include an undergraduate degree from a recognised university or
    college in Cyprus or Europe/America, and suitable work experience.
    Interested parties should contact the Foundation on
    <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]. More
    information on the AUA can be received at <http://www.aua.am/>
