Education stands as a powerful tool for empowerment and development. Recognizing this, the Djihanian-Teshkhoian Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of the Djihanian-Teshkhoian Scholarship Initiative. This groundbreaking program is designed not only to provide financial support for higher education but also to inspire recipients to contribute to Armenia’s socio-economic development by committing to live and work in the country for at least five years after graduation.
