History
As first-generation students, we realized early on how much of a gap exists in access to opportunities.
We saw how much students could benefit from knowledge, resources, and real-world experiences at a younger age.
Driven by the need for earlier exposure to mentorship, research programs, and internships, we launched NextGen Scholars.
What began as a small initiative has grown into a thriving community, connecting students to career exploration events, scholarships, internships, and research opportunities — empowering the next generation to lead with confidence.
Who we are
Who we are
NextGen Scholars was founded by Stella Ghevondyan and Grisha Tamazyan, two first-generation students passionate about making opportunities more accessible.
Together, they created a community where young scholars can connect to mentorship, career exploration, research programs, and real-world experiences to shape their futures with confidence.
