APSIH Graduation Award Ceremony 2024
Rescheduled 24th Annual Academic Achievement Awards
Due to the demonstration issues at UCLA, at the last moment the event was cancelled and thus it was rescheduled. On Saturday, October 5, 2024, the Association of Professors and Scholars of Iranian Heritage will hold its twenty-fourth annual graduation ceremony, honoring academic achievements by students of Iranian Heritage who will be graduating in the 2023/2024 academic years.
During this momentous ceremony, students and their families will have the unique opportunity to interact with esteemed scientists, scholars, and professors of Iranian heritage who are on the faculty or conduct research at various universities in California and elsewhere. These mentors have graciously agreed to guide and inspire the honored students on their academic journey. All attending graduates will receive a certificate, and several special sponsored awards will be issued to the graduating students who have demonstrated an outstanding record of accomplishment in pursuing their academic goals.
Please join us on Saturday, October 5th, to celebrate the success and achievements of our graduates. Please also feel free to wear your cap and gown.
The deadline for submitting the applications was April 26, 2024.
