Hayastan All Armenian Fund awarded the Yerevan Conservatory student Mary
Khojanyan with a diploma and the Best Student 2008 Prize. The prize equaling
to $500 US was founded by Hrair and Martha Albarians. In 2008 Mary was also
granted with Aram Khachatryan silver medal.

"Only students with excellent academic records and active involvement in
music and social life can apply for the Best Student Prize. Final selection,
out of the three best Conservatory students, is made by the benefactor
himself. Hopefully, the prize will encourage Conservatory students to do
their best this year", commented Aida Khachikyan, Advisor to the Hayastan
Fund Executive Director.

Mary Khojanyan is a second-year student studying at the Yerevan State
Conservatory’s Orchestra faculty. The young musician had her first concert
when she was nine. Since then, she has had many more accomplishments,
pursuing her career both in the homeland and abroad. Mary said that she had
been longing for her own violin and now there was a real chance for her
dream to come true. Mar’s brilliant performance at the ceremony was the best
"Thank you."
