Hello Education partners and stakeholders,
The California Armenian Legislative Caucus is holding two scholarship contests for the 2021 commemoration of the Armenian Genocide. California high school students in 9th through 12th grade are invited to participate in an essay contest and/or a visual arts contest to increase greater awareness of the Armenian Genocide on its anniversary.
All winners will be contacted directly and announced to mainstream and Armenian media by the California Armenian Legislative Caucus on Friday, June 25, 2021. All winners will be awarded scholarships and receive special recognition from the members of the Armenian Caucus. Original artwork will be requested from visual arts applicants if they are selected as a finalist, for possible display in the California State Capitol.
