The Albanian American National Organization is a non-religious and non-political organization established in 1946 to perpetuate and celebrate those special things, which come with our Albanian heritage. Among our priorities is to support the academic endeavors of Albanian-American College Students through annual scholarships. Each year, the organization gives out thousands of dollars in Scholarships, and through the years hundreds of students have received assistance through the A.A.N.O. Generous contributions to this fund have been made over the years by the Albanian-American Community.
The A.A.N.O. currently has nine Chapters located throughout the United States and Canada. Each chapter conducts local ethnic events and participates in National functions as well. Individuals may become members at a chapter level, or Members – at – large if one resides in an area distant from established chapters. Membership entitles you to a subscription to the official Newsletter of the A.A.N.O., the Trumbeta Shqiptare, as well as discounted admission to organizational events. The A.A.N.O. has over the years proven a wonderful means for Albanian-Americans, particularly youth and young adults, from throughout North America to meet and develop close friendships.
