The Will of Dolores Zohrab Liebmann created a perpetual charitable trust designated as “The Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund” for the purpose of funding advanced education and graduate study grants, which must be carried out entirely in the United States of America. The Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowships are to be awarded only to candidates who have outstanding undergraduate records, have demonstrated a need for financial assistance, are citizens of the United States of America, are enrolled in accredited colleges and universities in the United States and have received baccalaureate degrees.
Mrs. Liebmann was the daughter of a prominent Armenian intellectual, writer and statesman and was 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 trustees welcome applications from students of all national origins who are United States citizens.
The amount of each Fellowship will cover the cost of tuition only (no fees) and a stipend to be allocated towards room, board, living expenses and income taxes. The Trustee has set the stipend at $18,000 for this year. The procedures governing the granting of the awards are detailed in the attached application. Please be sure to fill out and sign page 5 of the application for each student. Further information is included in the attached Information for Submitting Schools Conditions for 2022-2023 document. Applications must be postmarked by January 21, 2022, so please set your internal deadline date accordingly if you have a review committee in place to make determinations as to your final applicants.
Due to COVID, applications will be accepted via email and should be sent to tina.gonzalez. Please send each student as one separate PDF attachment in the correct order. Transcripts and recommendation letters should be submitted to you to incorporate into packet.
Tax returns should only include the actual Tax Form, no schedules or attachments.
Please note that decision notifications will be sent to this email sometime in June and will no longer be sent to the student and ask that you forward the information along to your candidates. Please let students know that they should not contact us regarding the status of their application.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Tina Gonzalez
