The Eastern Diocese has announced the recipients of the 2021-22 academic year Diocesan scholarships.
The Diocese presents awards each year to students enrolled in four-year undergraduate programs who have demonstrated a high degree of scholarship and leadership in their local parishes.
The program is supported by various endowment funds, including the Adrina Movsesian Scholarship, the Armine Dikijian Journalism Scholarship, the Mabel Fenner Scholarship, and the George Holopigian Memorial Fund.
This year the Diocese distributed more than $34,000 in grants to 31 students from parishes across the Diocese.
