Origins of the Tavitian Scholarship Program

Though nearly everyone studying at Fletcher is enrolled in a degree program, the School also offers some special programs on a regular or occasional basis.  An annual example is the Tavitian Scholarship program.  A recent article in the Fletcher alumni magazine and on the Tufts Now site tells us:

Now in its 16th year, the program, funded by the Tavitian Foundation, has paid for more than 250 early and mid-career Armenian officials to study at the Fletcher School.
