Haigazian University in Beirut awards $1 million in scholarships to Armenian students each year. Its 60th year of instruction just began, and a Gala marking the anniversary with the goal of expanding the university’s endowment is set for October 3 in Los Angeles.

I’ve followed news about Haigazian as far back as I can remember. As a child, I went to Haigazian Women’s Auxiliary fundraisers with my mother, grandmother, aunts and great-aunts, all supporters of the university. I learned at the time that our diaspora community was committed to keeping Haigazian’s door of opportunity open for Armenian students in the Near East, and that it was usually the only door available to these students.

What I did not hear at the time was how important this was and still is to Haigazian students. So when I heard about the Gala fundraiser, my first question was, “How will this impact students?”

Your generosity empowers our advocacy, inspires our work, and sustains our momentum.
