To support and promote democratization, the Civilitas Foundation will focus on education and media. To promote uniform development, the Civilitas Foundation will highlight and concentrate on rural development, and on environmental awareness and education.

Civilitas Scholarship Program will enable access to university education in Armenia and abroad for gifted and determined young people in order to increase the knowledge-base, introduce national and civic understanding, enhance strategic thinking and managerial skills, and nurture professionals for a knowledge-based economy. This program will be available for the 2009 academic year. Selection will be need-based, and will prefer those unlikely to find alternative sources of support, as well as those wishing to study specific, strategically targeted subjects.

Donors will be sought from throughout Armenia and the Diaspora. The Civilitas Scholarship funds will be managed by a competitively-selected financial institution that will offer periodic reports to the Foundation and to donors. Recipients will be required to contribute to Armenia's development.

The Civilitas Media Program will produce content for newspapers and television, in Armenian and English, for Armenia and the Diaspora to begin to eliminate the current social, political, economic and cultural information gap. By producing and providing content, and introducing a new kind of open, objective, responsible public discourse, we will strengthen media and make it relevant to people's lives. Reliable media are essential to have a just and egalitarian environment and a balanced, informed, tolerant, engaged society.

The Civilitas Foundation will initiate, execute and back projects which facilitate, support sustainable, comprehensive and even development in Armenia's villages, enabling villagers to live a self-reliant, dignified life in Armenia's border areas. From small social and economic undertakings to larger infrastructure projects, the Foundation will work with donors and implementors to assure an inclusive, comprehensive approach.

The Civilitas Foundation will use its own high profile to work with local and international organizations to initiate new projects and back existing ones which educate the public and inform them on how to reduce impact on the environment and protect Armenia's unique flora and fauna. The Foundation will also focus on environmental programs as a means to foster regional cooperation.
