    MEDIA RELEASE


    ANC AUSTRALIA LAUNCHES SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM


    SYDNEY: The Armenian National Committee of Australia has announced the
    launch of its inaugural 'ANC Australia Scholarship'. The scholarship will be
    available to three students who, in 2008, earn university degree entry in
    the fields of 'Political Science', 'Media' and 'History'.


    "Our aim is to attract young Armenian-Australians into areas of study which
    are beneficial to the long-term future of our community and nation of
    origin," ANC Australia Scholarship project coordinator, Mr. Stephen
    Abolakian said.



    The successful candidates for each area of study, who will be announced in
    February 2008, will be selected by a qualified judging panel, including
    experts and practitioners in each field of study and respected members of
    the Armenian-Australian community, ANC Australia announced as they released
    an Online Application Form (available at www.anc.org.au).



    The applicants' results in 2007, his/her current role in the community and
    general character will all form part of the selection criteria, and each of
    the three winners of the Scholarship will be awarded $2000.



    Further to the financial reward, each winner will be placed in a Work
    Experience environment for a selected period in an area relevant to their
    field of study, and each winner will also take part in a Work Experience
    program with an ANC Australia sub-committee relevant to their area of study.



    High-profile Armenian-Australian MP for the NSW State seat of Willoughby, Ms
    Gladys Berejiklian, applauded the program.



    "It is important for the community to encourage youth participation in
    politics, media and history," she said. "I congratulate ANC Australia on
    this worthwhile initiative."
