Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund Fellowship

About the Fellowship

The Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund provides fellowships to fund advanced education and graduate study carried out entirely in the U.S. The fellowships are to be awarded only to candidates who have outstanding undergraduate records, have demonstrated a need for financial assistance, are U.S. citizens enrolled in accredited colleges and universities in the U.S. and have received baccalaureate degrees.

Mrs. Liebmann was the daughter of a prominent Armenian intellectual, writer, and statesman and married to one of the owners of a successful American business. She supported students and educational and charitable organizations during her lifetime. Mrs. Liebmann’s primary concern, as expressed in her Will, was to attract and support students with outstanding character and ability who hold promise for achievement and distinction in their chosen fields of study. The Selection Committee has a strong preference for supporting scholarly endeavors.
