15:16 19.07.13
The Luys Foundation, which launched its activities in 2009, has
since granted 545 scholarships to 315 holders and plans to grant 134
scholarships this year.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who is co-founder of the Luys
Foundation, held a meeting with scholarship holders of the academic
year 2013-2014 on Friday.
Following the meeting, Jacqueline Karaaslanian, Executive Director of
Luys Education, told Tert.am that this year applicants have attempted
to enter more prestigious universities, such as the University
of Chicago.
"I am happy when our students share their ideas and try their hand
at different fields. The more students we have at the best centers
the more contacts we create for Armenia," she said.
At the meeting, the Armenian president assured the students they will
have ample opportunities for applying their knowledge in Armenia.
Ms Karaaslanian stated that 54% of the students that studied abroad
have already returned to Armenia, only a small number of students
work abroad.
One of the scholarship holders, Mikael Mirzoyan, who got a bachelor's
degree in Sweden, is going to continue his education in London.
"Under the program I will study work with databases. I will return
to Armenia and try to impart my knowledge to many others. This field
does not require huge investments," he said.
"Forgetting Armenia is out of the question," says Nare Muradyan, one
more scholarship holder and graduate of the Department of Economy at
Yerevan State University.
