Preference will be given to Armenian or Armenian-American women. This year, several awards of up to $650 will be presented based on the best proposals in one of the following areas:
- To support meaningful scientific research or a project to further understanding of the natural sciences.
- To support travel expenses to attend a national or regional professional meeting, whether or not the student is presenting a research project or original research.
