Honouring excellence: The 2025 Rabi Nimrod Simono Scholarship celebration

The Assyrian Australian Association’s Rabi Nimrod Simono Scholarship celebration on 2 March, 2025, was testament to the community’s commitment to academic excellence and cultural heritage. Honouring 13 outstanding students, including an ACERO recipient, this event not only recognised their achievements but also laid a future cornerstone for the next generation of Assyrian-Australian leaders. With the presence of esteemed figures like His Beatitude Mar Meelis Zaia and representatives from various Assyrian organisations, the scholarship continues to inspire and uplift. The insights shared by the recipients, as captured by SBS Assyrian, highlight the lasting impact of this initiative in shaping future aspirations. Dr George Marano’s keynote address further reinforced the importance of education in building a strong and united Assyrian community
