ANC AUSTRALIA INTRODUCES SCHOLARSHIP TO HASG STUDENTS

SYDNEY: A delegation from the Armenian National Committee of Australia
visited HASG College to introduce senior school students to the inaugural
‘ANC Australia Scholarship’ last week.

The scholarship was launched by ANC Australia in August 2007, to attract
young Armenian-Australians into areas of study which are beneficial to the
long-term future of the community and nation of origin. It will be available
to three students who, in 2008, earn university degree entry in the fields
of ‘Political Science’, ‘Media’ and ‘History’.

Year 11 and 12 students at Ingleside’s HASG College met with project
coordinator, Mr. Stephen Abolakian and ANC Australia President, Mr. Varant
Meguerditchian for a question and answer session.

"We were very pleased with the level of interest of the students, and
believe they will now consider History, Political Science and Media as
potential career paths following our visit," said Mr. Abolakian.

The successful candidates for each area of study, who will be announced in
February 2008, will be selected by a qualified judging panel, including
experts and practitioners in each field of study and respected members of
the Armenian-Australian community, ANC Australia announced as they released
an Online Application Form (available at <;
).

The applicants’ results in 2007, his/her current role in the community and
general character will all form part of the selection criteria, and each of
the three winners of the Scholarship will be awarded $2000.

Further to the financial reward, each winner will be placed in a Work
Experience environment for a selected period in an area relevant to their
field of study, and each winner will also take part in a Work Experience
program with an ANC Australia sub-committee relevant to their area of study.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
