Founded in 1950, the Armenian Educational Foundation (AEF) is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing education for Armenian students and communities worldwide. AEF provides scholarships to Armenian students attending accredited colleges and universities across the United States, supporting those who demonstrate academic achievement, financial need, and active involvement in the Armenian community. The Foundation also distributes school supplies and backpacks to K-12 students in village schools throughout Armenia, Artsakh, and Javakhk—reaching over 31,100 students since 2007—and has committed more than $100,000 to establishing engineering labs in Armenia. Guided by the belief that education matters, AEF continues its decades-long mission of investing in the next generation of Armenian students and institutions.
