Abaven Foundation AUA Scholarship Fund

Project Mission


Our Board is inspired by the mothers and grandmothers who made us appreciate the value of education. There is no reason why women should still face barriers to achieve that.

We have partnered with the American University of Armenia (AUA) to support women from rural regions of Armenia pursuing higher education.  
The Need
AUA reports that women from rural Armenia represent the highest need-based demographic of students. Our scholarship provides the opportunity for these women to receive a world-class education at AUA, which is a US accredited institution. 
Your Support
Funding tuition: At $8,000-$10,000/year, your support will allow students to focus on their studies and careers.
Fostering community: Inspired by the supportive environment of sororities, we aim to foster similar friendships and mentorships, expanding our reach to students beyond the scholarship fund.
