Luys grants a loan or scholarship to Armenian students worldwide to study at the world’s top universities.

A Luys Loan Will Turn Into A Luys Scholarship When The Scholar Completes All Duties Required By The Luys Contract For Each Year Of Study.

A Loan or a Scholarship? The Scholar is the one who decides.

Each Luys Scholar once elected upon the Luys admission’s criteria will turn the money allocated by the foundation into:
** A Scholarship if he/she serves in Develop Armenia Together (DAT) Program and/or Start Armenia Internship;
** A Luys Loan to be reimbursed upon the completion of the degree if he/she chooses not to serve in Luys DAT Program or/and Start Armenia Internship.

The Scholarship eligibility criteria is unchanged.

The Luys allocated money will turn into a Scholarship if:
** During each of academic year the Luys Scholar reserves the summer period to take part in the Luys Develop Armenia Together (DAT) Program. The last year of the scholarship period or the summer following the one-year academic program will be 2 months of internship in an Armenian organization.
** This work will be evaluated and given a mark from 1 to 10. Anyone under the performance of 7 will have to reimburse the Loan to the foundation.
** The Luys representation and being a Luys Ambassador will account for points in addition to the quality of performance in Armenia and the quality of the work prepared ahead of time as well as the quality and assiduity as a Mentor.

The Luys allocated money will remain a Loan if:
** Duties are not completed as described in the Luys contract. If during the duration of the academic program the student decides to defer or cancel his/her studies and or does not complete the set of duties required by the Luys Develop Armenia Program, the granted money will considered a loan to be reimbursed to the foundation as stated in the Luys contract.
