Lori Ourlian
Alex and Marie Manoogian HighLloyd & Laurie Carr Scholarship
2025/2026
My name is Lori Nayiri Ourlian, and I am currently a senior at the AGBU Alex and Marie Manoogian School, where I have achieved a 4.0 unweighted GPA and earned the distinction of being named one of the Class Valedictorians. Throughout my high school career, I have taken every Honors and AP course available at my school and completed 7 dual enrollment courses. I also serve as the Senior Class President, the National Honor Society Secretary, and was the captain of my school’s robotics business team. Additionally, I am a cross country athlete, a member of the Science National Honor Society, and a member of my school’s Yearbook Committee. Outside of school, I am very passionate about volunteering. I have spent over 400 hours volunteering at the Trinity Health Livonia Hospital, where I assist nurses and offer support to patients. I also tutor middle school students in mathematics and have volunteered at my local library. At the Eddie Edgar Ice Arena, I teach children how to ice skate and work at the concession booth. I am also actively involved in my local Armenian Community and served as the Armenian Youth Federation Detroit Junior Chapter President for three years. In my role, I organized fundraisers to support refugees from the Nagorno-Karabakh region. I am committed to the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, where I plan to major in neuroscience on the pre-med track.
