    ARS Inc. Announces 2006 Eremian Scholarships Awards;
    2007 Scholarship Applications Now Available


    The ARS Inc. announces the availability of applications for
    its prestigious 2007 Eremian Scholarship. The international ARS Inc.
    awards the Eremian Scholarship to worthy undergraduate and graduate
    students who demonstrate merit, financial need, and Armenian community
    involvement. Applicants must be endorsed by their ARS regional or
    chapter-at-large entity.

    In 2006, 22 deserving undergraduate and graduate students
    from 13 countries received a Eremian Scholarship to support their higher
    education. Those recipients were: Shoushanik Aleksanyan (Armenia),
    Narine Avedanian (Egypt), Hrag Berberian (Greece), Mari Besiktasliyan
    (France), Tamar Bouchalian (Canada), Luiza Boghosian (Bulgaria), Sosi
    Essajanian (USA, Eastern), Harutiun Gasbaryan (Artsakh), Dzeron
    Ghazarian (Syria), Ani Hagopian (USA, Eastern), Aliac Jojaghaian
    (England), Serko Karavani (Greece), Talar Keleshian (Lebanon), Baghdig
    Keshishian (Syria), Khachadour Khachadourian (USA, Western), Edgar
    Makarian (Javakhk), Arpi Mkrtchian (Armenia), Ruppen Nalbandian
    (Jerusalem), Rostom Ohannessian (Lebanon), Hrag Palian (Canada), Armen
    Taslakian (USA, Western), and Varouzhan Tateosyan (Bulgaria).

    "We are so proud of these students and we are very happy
    that ARS, in a small way, could help with their education," said ARS
    Inc. Central Executive Board Chairwoman Hasmig Derderian.

    The ARS Inc. office received many thank you notes from the
    scholarship recipients, as it has every year it has given out the
    Eremian Scholarship.

    "Thank you for awarding me the Eremian Scholarship to assist
    me in my academic year of 06-07," wrote University of California,
    Berkeley student Khatchadour Khatchadourian. "This award will help me
    perform my best in school, by not worrying about getting a job to pay
    for my tuition and focusing on academics. Having been given the chance,
    I would like to tell you that I am planning on continuing my studies on
    the Middle East and Anthropology with major emphasis on Armenian-Middle
    Eastern issues. I plan to travel to Armenia this summer of 2007 to
    conduct a three-month research on Armenian foreign relations, and
    possibly an ethnographic study of Armenian culture. Your scholarship
    motivates me to continue, and it pushes me to do my best. For that, I am
    really grateful."

    Applications for the 2007 Eremian Scholarship must be
    received by the ARS Inc. office by May 31, 2007. For information, or an
    application, call your local ARS office.
