This program establishes connections and fosters collaboration by bringing together gifted students with a strong desire for learning, exploration, and community engagement throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. Over the course of 12 months, scholars will have the chance to develop professionally and make significant contributions, all under the guidance and support of the Foundation.
After a series of interviews throughout the last few weeks, we are thrilled to introduce 50 new Junior scholars who have been selected for the Incubation program.
The Ignite program
The Ignite program brings together a community of our youngest changemakers, the high school students passionate about natural and technical sciences, poised to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth. Designed to nurture the potential of driven students, the Ignite program opens doors to a realm of opportunities, enabling them to sharpen their talents and elevate their skill sets.
Our heartfelt congratulations go out to the new 32 Ignite members who have been selected for the Ignite program. They will be an addition to 10 Ignite members who continued their Ignite experience from last year. In total, we’re starting the new cycle with an amazing number of 42 Ignite members.
Through mentorship, resources, and opportunities, these scholars will be equipped to tackle real-world challenges, contribute to the growth of their nation, and drive positive change in their respective fields.
As the scholars embark on this exciting journey, we remain committed to supporting their aspirations and ensuring a brighter future for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
