Resilient AUA Students From Artsakh

Many students at AUA come from Artsakh and the surrounding regions. Through their dedication to their education, these students exemplify perseverance and resilience, and many have goals to return to Artsakh and help their homeland flourish, despite the many years of hardship it has endured. 

Many of our donors opt to select specific categories of students to support with the scholarships they establish. We believe that the best method to create long-term change is through education. Our students are the seeds you plant: they are watered through the education they receive, and they will one day bloom into the changemakers who will lead Armenia and Artsakh to prosperity.
