AIWA Scholarship Awards
Scholarship Sponsored by Armenian International Women's Association
Overview
AIWA scholarships offer a meaningful way for donors to honor loved ones while helping young Armenian women launch their careers. Since the first endowment—the Agnes Missirian Scholarship—in 1997, AIWA has awarded more than 200 scholarships to full‑time female students of Armenian descent attending accredited colleges and universities around the world. Awards consider both financial need and academic merit, and are paid from long‑term endowments and donor contributions.
