“I am so proud to be part of this amazing group, I refer to it as my second family. It’s my third year already and I’m enriched with different types of information, training and experiences in volunteering. I’m sure The Goguikian Foundation will help me construct the best suitable public sector servant for a better future in the institutions of this country.”
“When I first found out about The Goguikian Foundation and realized that its objectives matched mine, I knew that being a part of it would change my life. Therefore, I applied and got accepted. I think it was one of the best choices that I have made so far. The Goguikian Foundation gave me the opportunity to improve my skills and strengthen my personality at a very early age. I learned that hard work is necessary to achieve success, and the best way to succeed is to choose the right steps and paths towards accomplishing what you have planned. The Goguikian Foundation was maybe the hardest path to take, but it was the best.”
“Grace à la bourse de Jean Goguikian, j’ai pu réaliser mon rêve. Au fait, cette bourse m’a été efficace non seulement au niveau financier mais aussi au niveau personnel. Je tends ainsi à être une orthophoniste bien professionnelle qui pratique son travail aimablement dans le but d’épauler tout enfant à besoins spécifiques.”
“Thanks to the generosity of The Goguikian Foundation, not only did I realize the dream of attaining my higher education at one of the most renowned universities in the Middle East, but I also had the pleasure to meet and network with brilliantly-motivated, inspirational, and ambitious young fellow Lebanese-Armenian scholarship recipients, who, I believe, would undoubtedly serve as community/country leaders in the future, fulfilling the mission of The Goguikian Foundation in Lebanon.”
“Being a scholar of The Goguikian Foundation benefited me on so many levels. First, not only did I get the chance to study in one of the best universities in Lebanon, but it also opened many doors and opportunities through helpful training sessions and valuable internships. Basically, what it does is prepare young and ambitious people to be leaders and take their first steps towards a better country.”
“Depuis longtemps, je rêvais exercer un métriser assez passionnant, au service de l’humanité. Et voila, grâce à une bourse offerte par La Fondation Goguikian, j’ai parvenu à réaliser mon grand rêve, et donc à accompagner des apprenants présentant des besoins spécifiques, dans leur parcours académique. Il est vrai, ce n’est qu’une simple étape face au long chemin qui m’attend. Or, sans ce premier élan du cœur et de l’esprit, aucun projet ne pourra être accompli! C’était une expérience assez riche, tant au plan personnel que professionnel, avec une équipe super et des collègues formidables. Encore une fois, je vous remercie de votre générosité. Vous m’avez offert la clé vers le plus grand cadeau du monde: le sourire d’un enfant heureux!»
“When I was given the chance to be a part of The Goguikian Foundation scholarship program, I was one of the first students to receive the scholarship, so although I understood the aims and visions of the Foundation, I never really knew what I was becoming a part of. However, as the years went by I can say that it has been an honor to be a part of this project, and to be a part of this wonderful team of students with outstanding intellect and abilities. And now that I am at the end of the road as I have graduated, I can clearly see the importance of the Foundation’s vision; To encourage Lebanese-Armenians to play a vital role in the Lebanese public sector.”
“With the scholarship I received from The Goguikian Foundation I got the opportunity to attend one of Lebanon’s best universities. In addition, I got the opportunity to be enrolled in many skills enrichment programs. However, the best thing about this program is the staff and the remaining students who form a familial environment by helping, caring and aiding each other. “

“Having grasped the vivacious opportunities that the Jean Goguikian scholarship provides to its scholars, I grew on a personal, intellectual and professional basis. I was constantly indulged with values of academic excellence, communal service, and perpetual patriotism that I carry with me in my heart and soul”.
“This is my third year with the Goguikian Foundation. It is a wonderful experience full of surprises. The social life eases the pressure of the studies and as years go by we are more becoming a united family. Our professional skills are developed through the internships and the training which help us to get to know better the public sector and to be even more ready to work in it. It is a fruitful path bringing you closer to your professional life”.
“The Jean Goguikian Scholarship is not just an academic experience but rather a fruitful journey where the student becomes involved in community work, innovative projects, and interesting internships in order to be well-prepared for a future career in the public sector. Experiencing this opportunity allows me to envisage a bright future ahead of me as a successful civil servant .”
“Leadership, excellence and vocation to service. These are the virtues that I seized during the past three years of experience with the foundation. Along with gaining a lot of knowledge, I met a group of important people which became a role model to me and helped me to aim high. The Goguikian family helped me to become not only a better citizen, but also a better person. Receiving the scholarship is, and will ever be a source of pride.”
