    HAIGAZIAN UNIVERSITY RECEIVES A $250,000 SCHOLARSHIP DONATION FROM
    MR. AND MRS. ARMEN HAROUTUNIAN


    The establishment of THE ARMEN & SALPI HAROUTUNIAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND
    was joyfully announced at Haigazian University on December 2, 2013.
    Mr. and Mrs. Haroutunian donated US$250,000 to be used for scholarship
    assistance for Armenian students on the graduate and the undergraduate
    levels. The university celebrated the establishment of this fund as
    it approaches the celebration of its 60th anniversary.
    The event started with President Paul Haidostian expressing his
    gratitude on behalf of Haigazian University for receiving this
    generous donation. He noted that it shows the trust the Haroutunians
    have in Haigazian University's mission. The president highlighted
    that the substantial gift will be used for Armenian students who
    maintain good academic standards and are in need of financial
    assistance. He underlined the fact that the university's greatest
    needs are and will continue to be in the area of raising funds in
    order to enable students attain a higher education, especially those
    with limited financial resources. In addition, President Haidostian
    spoke about the long years of service that the sponsor,
    Mr. Haroutounian, has already given to the Armenian community and in
    particular to Haigazian University in the form of financial assistance
    which has benefited numerous students.
    A short power point was presented to give a glimpse of the prolific
    life of Mr. Haroutounian and the different contributions he has made
    through publications and various cultural and charitable initiatives.
    Lastly, the sponsor Mr. Armen Haroutunian expressed his sense of
    satisfaction and fulfillment and hoped that in the coming such events
    would be contagious and be repeated often. He explained that,
    alongside non-Armenians, Haigazian University brings together Armenian
    youth of all backgrounds and offers them a variety of academic
    programs of study in an atmosphere that also nurtures the Armenian
    spirit. He noted that Haigazian University helps elevate the
    educational and social standards of our nation and encouraged others
    to also share their financial resources supporting the growth and
    prosperity of a unique institution of the Armenian diaspora.
    A reception and time of fellowship with Mr. and Mrs. Haroutunian
    concluded the event.
    This donation was a special tribute and recognition for all of
    Haigazian University's faculty and staff, past and present, and for
    its ongoing educational work.
