We are growing: 99 new scholars!
By empowering the youth through education, technology and leadership, we shape the next generation of change-makers. We are proud that every year we can grow more, and welcome more scholars than before. This year it is our absolute record since we are onboarding 99 new scholars and 29 members of our new Ignite program.
Special thanks goes to our Selection Committee members who worked hard on reviewing the applications, interviewing candidates and placing them into the appropriate program. This year we have a new program structure as well, and besides our standard Acceleration Program, we added Incubation and Ignite programs.
Acceleration Program
This is a program for students who are already well rounded in their skills, leadership capacity and community service. This year we welcomed 20 new Senior Scholars and they are coming from almost every part of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Ljubuški, Zenica, Bugojno, Mostar, Travnik, Živinice, Konjic and Jajce. You can read their names below.

Ignite Program
It is a community for all students and young professionals who are interested in the Foundation’s work. The community allows individuals to access exclusive information, calls for projects, conferences, webinars and other learning/professional development opportunities. Individuals in the Ignite community will have priority access to the opportunities the Foundation offers to the public. Furthermore, Ignite will act as a talent sourcing pool and peer to peer support mechanism in which members must adhere to the Foundation’s values. We welcomed 29 members to this program and we are looking forward to working with them!
Dear new scholars, we are happy to have in our community and we can't wait to start your growth process. Welcome to our BH Futures family!
