About Us

The Djihanian-Teshkhoyan Scholarship Initiative is a private endeavor established by Avedis Djihanian and Arsaluys Teshkhoyan-Djihanian in 2024 in Canada. For the Djihanians and the Teshkhoyans, Armenia stands as a beacon of opportunity, where education transcends barriers and ignites the potential of every individual. They dream of a nation where excellence is nurtured, talents are cherished, and leadership is cultivated among the youth. To bring this vision to life, they donated their life savings to establish a charitable endowment, aiming to empower generations of leaders equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to drive positive change, both locally and globally. In their vision, education serves as the cornerstone of a vibrant and thriving Armenia, where every individual has the opportunity to fulfill their potential and contribute meaningfully to society.

Empowering Armenian Youth for Socio-Economic Growth

In light of the importance of education as a tool for empowerment and development, the Djihanian-Teshkhoyan Foundation proposes the establishment of the Djihanian-Teshkhoyan Scholarship Initiative. This initiative aims not only to provide financial assistance for higher education but also to encourage recipients to contribute to the socio-economic development of Armenia by committing to reside in the country for a minimum of five years following the completion of their studies. By investing in the education of Armenian youth, we aim to foster intellectual growth, empower future leaders, and contribute to the socioeconomic advancement of Armenia.
