AIWA-SF 2019-2020 Scholarship Recipients: Syuzanna Melkonyan

For several years AIWA-SF has had a unique scholarship partnership with AUA. Our scholarship is both academic and pragmatic as we require students to participate in an internship. Gaiane Khachatrian, Founding AIWA-SF President and current AIWA-SF Executive Committee member shares, “year over year it is heartwarming to empower students through the gift of education. Paring them with an internship to give them real world experience is extra rewarding.” We are delighted to announce and feature our four 2019-2020 AIWA-SF scholarship recipients and share their stories and letters to us. Today, we feature Syuzanna Melkonyan.
