VEKSELBERG, USMANOV, KERIMOV, CHUBAIS AND OTHERS TO HELP GIFTED CHILDREN GET EDUCATION AT DILIJAN SCHOOL
YEREVAN, June 6. / ARKA /. Wealthy business people from Russia and
Europe, including, of Armenian descent, will create a charitable
scholarship fund in the amount of $100 million that will pay for the
education of talented children from Armenia and other countries at
Dilijan International School (DIS), project founder and co-director
of Russian Sberbank CIB Ruben Vardanyan said today in Yerevan.
He said Russia's wealthiest people, Viktor Vekselberg, Alisher Usmanov,
Suleiman Kerimov, Anatoly Chubais, Oleg Lazarian from Ukraine,
Mikael Obermayer from Sweden and many others have donated money to
the fund to ensure that children of different nationalities study at
Dilijan International School.
He said the cost of education at the school is $30,000 a year, and
70% of students will receive scholarships from the fund to pay for
their studies. Vardanyan explained that scholarships will be paid
from the income fund, not from the authorized capital. He said there
is a mounting interest in Dilijan International School.
"In Armenia and Georgia there are many foreigners who want their
children to have good education. There are also a large number of
people in the Armenian Diaspora who will send their children to
Armenia to study here,' he said.
He said the Diljan School may interest also wealthy parents in Armenia
who send their children to international schools abroad.
Dilijan International School is a private charity project. Its
construction worth $150 million was financed by Ruben Vardanyan.-0-
