Scholarships for studying in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Scholarships are provided to university students to support them in their personal growth, acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies in order to enhance the knowledge and intellectual potential of Croatian communities abroad and to entice younger generations to remain in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The scholarship program for university students who are Croatians from Bosnia and Herzegovina is carried out by the Central State Office for Croats Abroad, which announces a public call for applications for provision of scholarships to university students who are Croatians living abroad.

With the help of this public call for applications, 400 scholarships are awarded for studying in Croatia. The scholarship amounts to 92,9 EUR per month and is awarded for the period of 10 months.

Persons who are eligible to apply are university students who are Croatians with permanent residence in Bosnia and Herzegovina and who are full-time students at public higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Applications are submitted electronically (via an e-application form) and in hardcopy, which is available on the Central State Office website.

More detailed information about the public call for applications and the procedure, terms and criteria of award of scholarships can be found on the website of the Central State Office for Croats Abroad on these links:
