Internship Program

The ANC-AU features a wide variety of outreach programs for direct involvement, the most prominent being the ANC-AU Internship Program which is supported by the Hagop Kortian Scholarship. The ANC-AU Internship Program's Hagop Kortian Scholarship was established in 2018 and is a long-term commitment from the family, and in memory, of one of the founding forces of Hai Tad in Australia and a founding member of the ANC-AU. 

The annual Scholarship totalling $10,000 is funded by the proceeds of the Hagop and Makrouhy Kortian Endowment Fund which was established in their honour by their sons and their families. 

The ANC-AU Internship Program, part of the broader #ANCAUoutreach initiative, provides internship opportunities for young Armenian-Australians at the office of the peak public affairs body of the Armenian-Australian community. 

The Internship Program also helps to facilitate the placement of Armenian-Australian students into the offices of Members of Parliament, Senators, government departments, think-tanks and media centres in Canberra and within state capitals across the country.

Candidates for the ANC-AU Internship Program’s Hagop Kortian Scholarship should email their applications interns@anc.org.au including:

  1. a current Curriculum Vitae with full contact details.

  2. a personal statement, no longer than 1000 words, that answers the following question: What do you hope to learn during your proposed internship with a Federal politician, and how will you use your acquired skills and ideas to further Hai Tad (the Armenian Cause) in your own community or campus?

  3. at least one letter of recommendation from an individual, not related to you, with knowledge of your abilities and qualifications.
