    Five of the six graduates.

    Yerevan - Six recipients of FAR's Ester Ajemian Scholarship
    (http://farusa.org/Gulamerian.html) successfully defended their
    master's theses. These six diligent students hail from various regions
    of Armenia and they are the first young Armenians to complete their
    degrees with the assistance of this scholarship, which aims to support
    aspiring female journalists.

    Betkhehem Arabyan, who comes from Javakhk, is now working at the Mitq
    news service. Manya Poghosyan from Masis is employed at Tatron.info
    news service. After graduating from Armenia State Pedagogical
    University, Satenik Asatryan has returned to the Syunik region to work
    at a radio station in Kapan. Naira Guloyan is a journalist working for
    Aysor.am, and Shoghik Galstyan is still searching for the right job.

    I am currently working at the Information and Public Relations
    Department of Armenia's Ministry of Defense. In addition, I'm a
    correspondent for the weekly newspaper Eter.

    As young journalists who are making their first steps in this
    profession, we are so fortunate to be highly qualified and endowed with
    excellent knowledge and skills. We are fully aware of the importance
    of our profession for our society and our nation. We will do our best
    to serve our country by dedicating ourselves to our work, shedding
    light on the issues that concern our people, and by being thorough
    professionals. We are certain that after obtaining our master's
    degrees we are now able to better compete in the labor market and
    our investigations will assist in the formation and development of
    a stronger civil society for Armenia.

    My dream was to become a journalist. I can now say with certainty that
    all of our dreams came true thanks to the Ester Ajemian Scholarship
    Program.

    Ester Ajemian Scholarship Program beneficiary Naira Hambardzumyan is
    a proud graduate of Yerevan State University's journalism department.

    Note: Established in July 2010, this scholarship aims to specifically
    support and empower aspiring female journalists by providing the
    opportunity to receive the education and training they need. Margaret
    Ajemian Ahnert established this scholarship fund in memory of her
    mother Ester Ajemian. The fund, administered by FAR, provides full
    tuition and monthly stipends to female graduate students in Armenia.

    Students are required to maintain excellent grades and must agree to
    work in Armenia or Karabagh for the same number of years that they
    are supported by the scholarship.
