 Nearly
all students face obstacles in the pursuit of higher
education. These challenges can be financial, academic,
rooted in low aspirations or by the complexities of
the college admissions and financial aid processes.
This is why; The Armenian Scholarship Foundation was
created.
In our nationwide survey that we conducted we asked
high school students as well as current college students
specific questions related to college, financial aid,
academics, and motivation.

Research indicates
that factors such as early awareness of college opportunities,
positive encouragement, consistent mentors, rigorous academic
preparation, and sustained parental involvement all significantly
contribute to the college enrollment and graduation process.
The Armenian Scholarship Foundation believes that by providing
students with financial, mentorship, guidance, and educational
resources together will create the means to most effectively
prepare a student to be admitted and succeed in college.
