YEREVAN, AUGUST 31, ARMENPRESS: One hundred fourth-year students
majoring at Armenian state-run universities will be eligible to a
monthly $100 stipend to be awarded by a Russian education fund run
by two Armenians.
The fund, called Education, was founded by professor Hrant Poghosian
and an ethnic Armenian member of the Russian parliament Alexander
Ter-Avanesov.
This news was announced today by Armenian education and science
minister Levon Mkrtchian. He said the eligible students must be from
insecure families who cannot pay their tuition fees and must have
excellent academic records.
He said the applicants will be selected by the universities where
the students study. The stipend will be available to students after
they receive bachelor's degree and continue education for master's
degree, but they will lose their eligibility once they stop showing
excellent achievements.
