Armenia's future is being built right now on AUA's campus, in our research labs, and through every student who graduates ready to lead, innovate and be an agent of change. The AUA ChangeMakers are the force behind this transformation.

The 200 ChangeMakers Campaign brings together visionary philanthropists who believe in the power of education, innovation, and leadership to shape Armenia’s future.

Through their support, AUA is able to strengthen its institutional capacity, expand groundbreaking research, and cultivate a culture of innovation that empowers the next generation of changemakers.

Together, these efforts are helping build a stronger, more resilient, and sustainable Armenia.

ChangeMakers’ impact is visible in AUA’s efforts of:

Enriching AUA's academic environment by attracting highly qualified faculty

Expanding AUA's academic portfolio and strengthening existing programs

Activating scholarly research and powering innovative hands-on experiences for students

Sustaining AUA’s need-blind admissions policy and securing subsidized tuition to all deserving students

After over three decades of proven impact AUA community of supporters already know what this institution is capable of. Now imagine what the next generation of leaders in Armenia could achieve with greater resources supporting their career aspirations.

ChangeMakers are invited to exclusive campus and U.S. networking events, receive VIP Commencement access, and are permanently recognized on the special ChangeMakers Wall located on the bridge connecting the two AUA buildings.
