The work begins
Funding lands, mentorship starts, and you meet the people you'll grow with.
Quick answers
Do I need perfect grades to apply?
No. Grades matter, but we read every application for drive, curiosity, and service to your community. Show us what you'd do with the opportunity — that's what we fund.
Which track am I?
In high school? You're Ignite. At university (or about to enroll)? You're Fellowship. Both tracks apply through the same application in the spring cycle.
Can I apply from anywhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Yes — and from the diaspora too, if you're pursuing your education with a connection to B&H. When in doubt, apply.
Ready When You Are
The application takes effort, not connections. Start it early, ask us questions, and let's find out what you can build.
