AYF Nanor Krikorian Scholarship Fund
GLENDALE-The Armenian Youth Federation-WR announced the recipients
of its annual "Nanor Krikorian" Memorial Scholarship. The selected
Armenian-American students will receive aid to help them along with
their academic endeavors. The scholarship awards four high school
students entering college and two current college students.
The recipients are: Shogakat Chilingarian from Cal Poly Pomona, Arev
Dinkjian from Providence College in Rhode Island, Ani Der-Grigorian
from Rose and Alex Pilibos High school, Areni Der-Grigorian from Rose
and Alex Pilibos High School, Carla Kekejian from Rose and Alex Pilibos
High School, and Lucy Dishoian from Fountain Valley High School.
The AYF Nanor Krikorian Scholarship has recently just hit its tenth
year, making it a decade long tradition where talented, ambitious and
community-oriented Armenian students apply for a chance to receive
award money which will help them achieve their academic and communal
goals. The first place winner for high school receives $1000, second
place takes $500, and two third place winners receive $250 each. The
two college winners receive $500 each. Winners are based on how their
majors will benefit the Armenian community in the future, their role
in the community, academic standing, and financial need.
"I can't help but think who will take after the Armenian teachers,
the Armenian political activists, or those who will lend a helping
hand in Armenia and Karapakh," a concern raised by one of our current
Nanor Krikorian Scholarship winners, Ani Der-Grigorian, showing that
Armenian youth are aware of how important it to be determined and
active in their community to take over these positions.
It is the current youth that stand as the next generation to fill in
the empty spaces and keep the process of attaining a free and united
Armenia in motion. As Karekin Njteh once said, "If you wish to see
the future of a people, look into the eyes of its youth." And so it
seems that the eyes of our youth are glimmering with determination,
for they are on track to make Armenia a prosperous nation.
Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and
most influential Armenian youth organization in the United States,
working to advance the social, political, educational and cultural
awareness of Armenian American youth.
