AIWA Scholarship Awards
Scholarship Sponsored by Armenian International Women's Association
Here’s a clear, teacher-friendly summary of the AIWA scholarship program and what you need to apply. Read it carefully — then use the checklist to make sure your application is complete.
About the scholarships
- AIWA scholarships honor donors’ wishes to remember loved ones and at the same time give practical support to young women preparing for careers. The program began in 1997 with the Agnes Missirian Scholarship Endowment, and since then more than 200 scholarships have been awarded to full‑time female students of Armenian descent studying at accredited colleges and universities around the world.
- Awards are made based on a combination of financial need and academic merit. Funding comes from long‑term endowments and from donations given over one or more years.
Important dates
- Applications for the 2025–2026 academic year open at the end of January 2025.
- Scholarship decisions are announced in late May to early June.
Who may apply
- Female students of Armenian descent.
- Must be enrolled full time at an accredited college or university.
- Typically eligible: students entering their junior or senior year, and graduate students.
- Exception for California residents: sophomores (and above) who are enrolled in a U.S.-accredited college or university may apply.
Academic and documentation requirements (checklist)
- Minimum GPA: 3.2
- Official college/university transcripts (copies must be official)

A few final tips
- Start gathering your transcripts and recommendation letters now so you aren’t rushed when applications open.
