Washington, D.C. - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) announced the availability of scholarships to college students across the U.S. interested in participating in its Spring 2025 Advocacy Summit. Headlined by actor and director Joe Manganiello, the Summit will take place from March 31 through April 2.
In view of the success of the Advocacy Summit Scholarship Program launched in 2024, where 20 Armenian American college students secured the opportunity to participate in the Assembly's Spring 2024 Summit, the program is being repeated in 2025. The scholarship covers costs for travel and accommodations.
"I was so impressed with the Summit and its all-encompassing scope while we networked and advocated for Armenian issues with like-minded individuals," said Meline Martirosyan, a 2024 recipient of the Advocacy Summit Scholarship Program who is a nursing student living in Santa Clarita, California. "I have always been an activist online and consistently respond to action alerts as this is a personal commitment for me, but it was a new experience of meeting with elected officials in person."
This year's Summit will again give participants the chance to connect with advocates from across the country to make a direct impact on pro-Armenian policies on Capitol Hill. Events include a Young Professionals Networking Reception on Monday, March 31, an Advocacy Training and Welcome Reception on Tuesday, April 1, and Capitol Hill Meetings and a community-wide Armenian Genocide Commemoration on Wednesday, April 2.

The deadline to apply is Friday, March 7. For questions, please email Assembly Grassroots Associate Bettina Saraydaroglu at bettinasar@aaainc.org.
