Two promising university seniors, Datev Hovannisian and Armen
Abkarian, on August 22 accepted their checks as co-winners of the
Marilyn Arshagouni Scholarship.
The Scholarship is designed to assist Armenian students who have
achieved at least junior status at an accredited university in the
United States. Preference is given to Ferrahian graduates pursuing
careers in the humanities, fine and performing arts, social sciences,
and education.
Hovannisian, a senior at UCLA majoring in mathematics, with an
interest in English and the creative arts, has demonstrated her
commitment to education by volunteering as a math tutor for middle and
high school students. Her goals include becoming a CPA and
volunteering her services to those in need.
Armen Abkarian, a senior at Cal State University Northridge, is
pursuing a degree in political science, with the goals of completing
law school and becoming an attorney. His experience as an intern for
the ANC helped him understand the role government can play in the
advancement of the Armenian community.
Both Datev and Armen have participated in a wide range of activities
associated with Armenian organizations and institutions and
demonstrate that, as they earn their professional degrees, they will
actively contribute to the life of the Armenian community.
