Haigazian University Acknowledges New Donations
After a stormy summer in Lebanon, and as the academic year
2006-2007 starts, President Paul Haidostian acknowledged with thanks a
number of US grants received during the past month (Lincy Foundation USA,
$100,000/- ; USAID Small Grants, Lebanon $50,000/- ; the Flora Family
Foundation, USA $10,000/-) to various programs of Haigazian University.
Theses grants came as a welcome addition to the regular
financial support of the American Missionary Association of America, the
Stephen Philibosian Foundation, the Conte Foundation, and the Common Global
Ministries Board of the United Church of Christ & Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) USA.
Moreover, Haidostian commended the scholarship programs of the
Galouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and the Vatche & Tamar Manouguian
Foundation which continuously support Armenian students through direct grants.
Despite all the aforementioned generous donations, President
Haidostian expressed the country’s economic hardships and the increasing
financial needs of students and the university, as a consequence of the
July-August war on Lebanon.
