Yerevan/Mediamax/. George Clooney, Aurora Prize Selection Committee Co-Chair, visited UWC Dilijan College today
George Clooney met Pamela Tebchrany - the first recipient of an annual scholarship granted by 100 LIVES in the name of Amal Clooney.
The Amal Clooney Scholarship offers one female student from Lebanon a place on a two-year international baccalaureate program at UWC Dilijan.
Recipients will be chosen annually based on their exemplary academic performance and demonstrable interest in the promotion of human rights and international issues.
Amal Clooney Scholarship was launched in December 2015.
“As a leading human rights barrister and campaigner, Amal Clooney is an inspirational role model for young women around the world. She exemplifies integrity, compassion and dedication - and typifies what it means to be a global citizen across all cultures”, co-founder of 100 LIVES and UWC Dilijan College Ruben Vardanyan said then.
“This scholarship will give young women from Lebanon the opportunity of a lifetime. Cross-cultural learning and studying abroad can be transformative. I am grateful to 100 LIVES for helping to open doors for these bright and talented young women”, Amal Clooney said then.
