American University of Armenia Students on Campus

Annual Fund gifts are critical for AUA’s advancement, as they allow the University to direct resources where they are needed most.

As a small institution, AUA relies on this flexibility to sustain quality and continuity. Annual Fund contributions ensure that the University remains responsive and effective year to year and meet the evolving needs of the country.

  • Support of the AUA Office of Student Affairs
  • Recruitment of expert full-time faculty for existing and new programs
  • Promotion of academic research

AUA’s Annual Fund is integral to the livelihood of its current and future students. By building the fund, the University will be able to address its most pressing needs and promising opportunities without delay. This meaningful source of funding can be used today and tomorrow in order to facilitate academic growth and advancement of students who will continue to help push their country forward.

Regardless of your motivation for giving, be it shared values, passion for Armenia’s future, a family legacy to inspire generations to come – know that your contribution makes a lasting impact.
