HOLLYWOOD — The Armenian Youth Federation Hollywood Soghomon Tehlirian Juniors Chapter announced the launch of the inaugural AYF Hollywood Juniors Scholarship Program for its chapter members. This new initiative is dedicated to recognizing and supporting student members who demonstrate a strong commitment to community service, active involvement in the AYF and Armenian community, leadership, and academic achievement.
The scholarship program seeks to encourage and reward dedicated AYF Hollywood Juniors members as they continue their educational journeys through high school. Selected recipients will receive financial assistance to help offset tuition and other school-related expenses.
Eligible applicants must have completed their sophomore year of high school and maintained a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. They must also have been active members of the AYF Hollywood Juniors for at least one year and demonstrated meaningful involvement in community service. As part of the application process, a personal essay, an official transcript, and one letter of recommendation are required.
Applications will be reviewed by AYF Hollywood Musa Ler Senior Chapter members, who will serve as the scholarship selection committee. Recipients will be selected through an evaluation of academic achievement, community involvement, leadership, and personal reflection.
“The AYF has long been dedicated to developing future leaders within our community,” said Meghmik Babakhanian, AYF Hollywood Juniors Program Advisor. “Through this scholarship program we hope to recognize students who have demonstrated a commitment to both their education and service to others while encouraging them to continue making a positive impact in their communities.”
“The launch of this scholarship program is an investment in the future of our community,” said Arda Tazian, Chairperson of the AYF Hollywood Musa Ler Chapter. “Our Juniors members dedicate countless hours to serving others, strengthening their Armenian identity, and developing as leaders. As the selection committee for this scholarship, the AYF Hollywood Musa Ler Chapter looks forward to recognizing and supporting students whose commitment to service, leadership, and community involvement reflects the values of our organization.”
Applications will open on July 15 and close on August 15, with scholarship recipients being notified by the end of August.
The AYF Hollywood Juniors Scholarship Program reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to empowering Armenian youth, fostering academic success, and strengthening community engagement for future generations.
