Why should I apply for the Futures Scholarship?

The Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation Scholarship is a one of a kind innovative talent-growth program that guarantees career success. 

• We like to consider ourselves a “talent incubator and accelerator” as we do not provide financial support to all scholars by default.
• We believe education is a lifelong process and with the right support system, youth in Bosnia & Herzegovina can leap to new career heights. 
• This prestigious career development program is aimed at university students currently studying or commencing undergraduate or postgraduate studies in any natural or technical science (engineering, manufacturing, computer sciences, information technology or cross-cutting) in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
• Strong candidates from high schools who are technical and natural sciences oriented can apply for the Ignite Program here.
• Our scholars are learning based on the latest trends. The programme was developed in cooperation with internationally recognized industry experts and members of academia and by partnering up with experts, globally and in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
• The competencies developed by students are based on and directly mapped to global standards set by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), Engineers Australia & Engineering Council UK. Our scholar learning outcomes and competencies are benchmarked against the world’s best, ensuring that they become truly globally recognised.
• To date, our programmes have successfully transformed the lives of hundreds of students, developing highly competent young leaders who are empowered to make a positive impact on the future of our homeland. 
• Our scholarship provides students all the resources and support needed to launch their young professional careers to new heights. With our help, they can become leaders in their respective fields and transform into change makers to inspire a new generation of B&H youth.
• When you become a BH Futures Foundation scholar, you become a member of a professional organisation where a cohesive and family-oriented environment ensures your path to success. 
• We believe that the BH Futures Foundation Scholarship truly is life changing and is regarded by students as the most valuable scholarship on offer in Bosnia & Herzegovina.

“The counter value of invested time, knowledge, and opportunities into every scholar during a single year is on average 6.000 BAM.”
