The severe economic crisis in Lebanon since 2019 has had a detrimental impact on many Armenian university students and their families. To alleviate the financial burden, this exceptional needs-based scholarship was created for students hit the hardest by the crisis, so that they can continue (or complete) their studies during the current academic year.

The scholarship is for the 2022 – 2023 academic year only and is a one-off non-renewable award for students already enrolled in university. Candidates in Lebanon wishing to apply for Higher Education Scholarships for Armenian Students in/from Developing Countries for the next academic year (2023 – 2024) should consult the conditions of these two distinct scholarship categories attentively before applying.
