For the fourth consecutive year, nominal scholarships are provided to talented students of the graduating classes of Vanadzor Basic School No. 28 named after Vahe Meliksetyan by the “Vahe Meliksetyan” educational-medical foundation. In total, the foundation awarded 5,200,000 AMD scholarships to 26 beneficiaries.
This year’s 6 beneficiaries are:
- Halajyan Maria Aliki

The scholarship amount is 20,000 AMD monthly awarded to each student for the 2024-2025 academic year.
The foundation’s executive director Sargis Meliksetyan notes that the foundation values both school and higher education. He also expressed his gratitude to all the foundation’s supporters, particularly the Imast platform, for supporting the fundraising efforts for the scholarship fund.
Hayk Hayrapetyan, the founder-director of the Imast platform, assures that such initiatives enable the community of micro-donors to make an invaluable contribution to Armenia’s development. By encouraging individuals with great potential, these initiatives nurture the high aspirations of students who will later contribute to their neighborhood, community, and the overall development of the country.
Note that in April 2021, the school was named after Vahe Meliksetyan, a hero of the 44-day war, YSMU lecturer, gold medalist of the school.
Vahe Meliksetyan Educational-Medical Foundation was established in 2021 with the aim of developing clinical pharmacy in Armenia. The foundation’s mission is to realize the professional dream of Vahe Meliksetyan, a clinical pharmacist who fell in the 2020 Artsakh War.
The Imast application was created in 2023 to digitalize the charity sector in Armenia and make it more transparent and reliable. The idea of creating the application arose during the 44-day war when Hayk Hayrapetyan tried to support his homeland while being abroad. Now, the platform enables Armenians around the world to contribute to verified and trusted charity organizations registered on the platform in a simple, fast, and secure way.
