Executive Summary:
Welcome to our first quarterly report of 2024! We are excited to kick off the new year by extending our heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters who play a vital role in the success of Bosana programs. Your unwavering support fuels our mission, and we are truly grateful for your dedication.
In this report, we are excited to provide you with updates on our scholarship program and the latest news from our students. Bosana is proud to maintain its collaboration with BAPA on a scholarship program for Bosnian-American students. Dive into this report to discover more about our students and other exciting updates. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
Students and Program Update:
During the first quarter of the year, our students faced exam season, and we are proud to report that the majority of Bosana students were well-prepared and achieved rewarding results. With the new semester starting shortly after, our students are now setting their sights on new goals.
This year, InfoBip generously supported Bosana students by donating laptops to four lucky recipients, providing valuable assistance in their exam preparation process.
Additionally, for the third consecutive year, Bosana partnered with BAPA to award a scholarship to a distinguished leader in the Bosnian-American community. In 2024, BAPA celebrates its ninth year of recognizing high-achieving Bosnian-American students who make significant contributions to their communities. The BAPA Scholarship is designed to support Bosnian-American students in navigating the educational system and advancing their professional aspirations. In addition to the scholarship sponsored by the Bosana Foundation, BAPA is offering four additional $5,000 scholarships. The application period closed in April, and the new scholarship recipients will be announced in May 2024.
Highlights of the quarter:
These are just a few examples of the remarkable accomplishments of our students, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication and achievements.
BOSANA at the JobFair Tuzla
The most effective way to ensure that our message about our scholarship program resonates is to have it conveyed by someone who has successfully completed the same program.
In March, our esteemed alumna, Milena, collaborated with current Bosana students Aida, Amina, and Majra to deliver a compelling presentation on Bosana programs at JobFair Tuzla. Their voyage from various cities to Tuzla to represent the Bosana Foundation at this event epitomizes the deep gratitude and aspiration of our students to motivate others.
If their presentation has sparked the interest of even one young mind, it signifies a successful mission in promoting education and empowerment.
Students for Humanity:
"Students for Humanity" is a collaborative fund created by scholarship recipients from the Bosana Foundation. Each student donates 2 KM per month, with Bosana matching their contributions. This initiative is backed by both current and former students, enhancing the impact of this meaningful event.
The partnership between the Bosana Foundation and Homework HUB has led to further positive changes. Bosana students can utilize the shared space for studying and attending workshops. To express gratitude for this opportunity, students have chosen to assist their peers studying in the same space. Through the "Students for Humanity" initiative, four annual memberships worth 100.00 BM each have been donated to four regular HUB members.
