Dalya Barsamian, AEF Oratorical Committee Chair, stated, "AEF is at the forefront of
educational innovation, providing students with unparalleled opportunities for academic
growth and personal development. We're privileged to be part of a program that
emphasizes critical thinking, public speaking, and the development of essential skills
that will empower students to excel in an ever-evolving world."
AEF was established in 1950 to provide financial support to Armenian students and Armenian
educational institutions and programs in Armenia, Artsakh and the diaspora. All AEF programs
are planned and executed by volunteers with minimal overhead – assuring donors that their
contribution is used directly towards the program they support.
