The National Association of Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) has launched its NextGen Armenian Studies Program: an interactive summer institute for high school students and recent graduates, taking place July 13-31. Applications to join the inaugural Summer 2026 cohort are open now and close April 20, 2026. For full details, interested students should click the following link to visit the program webpage and apply early, as space is limited. Click here to view an informative flyer.
The three-week program was developed with innovative pedagogical methods that engage and inspire young students. This is not a lecture series, and it’s not a camp. This is a project-driven intellectual lab where students investigate urgent questions about Armenian history, identity, memory, justice, and representation—and build something with real-world impact. Students will be introduced to Armenian topics by world-class faculty from leading universities including Harvard, MIT, Cornell, and Columbia. In groups, students will develop a strategic digital campaign that responds to contemporary Armenian concerns. The program concludes with public presentations of student campaigns to a live audience at NAASR headquarters.
