Los Angeles, CA– April 29 – The All-Armenian Student Association (All-ASA), a global nonprofit representing Armenian students across more than 70 chapters worldwide, has announced the launch of its inaugural All-ASA Scholarship Program, made possible through the generous support of the International Armenian Network (IAN), a global organization dedicated to building a collaborative Armenian network through mentorship, professional growth, and cultural preservation. The program is one of the largest scholarship initiatives for Armenian college students to date.
The program will award six $25,000 scholarships, totaling $150,000, to outstanding Armenian undergraduate students for the 2026-2027 academic year. The scholarship is open to current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, and applications will be accepted through May 31st at 11:59 PM PST.
Peter Baghdassarian, of the All-ASA Steering Board, echoed the impact of this vision, “There is no greater investment than in our next generation. As Armenian professionals, we have a responsibility to open doors and pay forward the support that made our own paths possible. With nearly 300 students mentored and 35 internships set for this summer, these scholarships build on that foundation and ensure the brightest among us have the resources, community, and mentorship to lead boldly in any field.”
Eligibility
- Current ASA members enrolled in an undergraduate degree program (freshmen, sophomores, and juniors only)
- GPA of 3.5 or higher
- Applicants must be enrolled at an accredited college or university for the 2026–2027 academic year
- Demonstrated academic excellence and intellectual curiosity
- Proven commitment to the Armenian community and broader civic engagement
The All-ASA Scholarship Program is designed to uphold the highest standards of integrity and academic rigor. Applications will be evaluated by a Faculty Review Committee composed of university professors, ensuring a credible and independent review process.
Through this scholarship, All-ASA and IAN are making a long-term investment in students who demonstrate both academic excellence and a deep commitment to community impact. The scholarship program builds on All-ASA’s rapid growth and expanding impact across the Armenian diaspora. Recently, the organization has grown to represent students across three continents, including through its expansion to the East Coast and the launch of its Eastern Chapter. It has raised over $60,000 for humanitarian aid, education, and border support initiatives, and launched a Mentorship Program connecting over 300 students with more than 135 Armenian professionals. All-ASA has also developed an Internship Program placing students with leading partner organizations and led national advocacy efforts such as Armenian History Month and Artsakh Awareness Month. All-ASA continues to serve as a central platform for Armenian student leadership and impact worldwide.
