    AYF Nanor Krikorian Scholarship Fund
    GLENDALE-The Armenian Youth Federation-WR announced the recipients
    of its annual "Nanor Krikorian" Memorial Scholarship. The selected
    Armenian-American students will receive aid to help them along with
    their academic endeavors. The scholarship awards four high school
    students entering college and two current college students.

    The recipients are: Shogakat Chilingarian from Cal Poly Pomona, Arev
    Dinkjian from Providence College in Rhode Island, Ani Der-Grigorian
    from Rose and Alex Pilibos High school, Areni Der-Grigorian from Rose
    and Alex Pilibos High School, Carla Kekejian from Rose and Alex Pilibos
    High School, and Lucy Dishoian from Fountain Valley High School.

    The AYF Nanor Krikorian Scholarship has recently just hit its tenth
    year, making it a decade long tradition where talented, ambitious and
    community-oriented Armenian students apply for a chance to receive
    award money which will help them achieve their academic and communal
    goals. The first place winner for high school receives $1000, second
    place takes $500, and two third place winners receive $250 each. The
    two college winners receive $500 each. Winners are based on how their
    majors will benefit the Armenian community in the future, their role
    in the community, academic standing, and financial need.

    "I can't help but think who will take after the Armenian teachers,
    the Armenian political activists, or those who will lend a helping
    hand in Armenia and Karapakh," a concern raised by one of our current
    Nanor Krikorian Scholarship winners, Ani Der-Grigorian, showing that
    Armenian youth are aware of how important it to be determined and
    active in their community to take over these positions.

    It is the current youth that stand as the next generation to fill in
    the empty spaces and keep the process of attaining a free and united
    Armenia in motion. As Karekin Njteh once said, "If you wish to see
    the future of a people, look into the eyes of its youth." And so it
    seems that the eyes of our youth are glimmering with determination,
    for they are on track to make Armenia a prosperous nation.

    Founded in 1933, the Armenian Youth Federation is the largest and
    most influential Armenian youth organization in the United States,
    working to advance the social, political, educational and cultural
    awareness of Armenian American youth.
