It is our great pleasure to highlight the positive impact of the Atanas Bliznakoff Scholarship through the story of Aleksandra Davcheva, a dedicated student at the Faculty of Economics at the βSs. Cyril and Methodiusβ University in Skopje.
βThe scholarship from the “Atanas Bliznakoff” Foundation was not only financial support but also a strong motivation during my studies. During the first academic year, the scholarship helped me focus on what I love β learning, research and progress.
Now I don’t see my studies as an obligation, but as an opportunity to develop, progress and build myself as a successful person. I participated in events, connected with young people from different faculties, which was of key importance for my further academic and personal development.
Thanks to the scholarship, I had the honor of being an “Ambassador for a Day” β a moment that I carry with me as a lasting inspiration and motivation.
This event allowed me to find myself in a role that requires leadership, communication, and self-confidence.
I had the chance to meet the British Ambassador, discuss various topics, and was honored to be a guest of the President of our country.
The scholarship not only brought me financial security, it also gave me the courage to believe in myself and strive for more with a sincere desire for progress. β

βThe Atanas Bliznakoff Scholarship was a crucial pillar of support throughout my first year of college. It covered my apartment rent and all academic essentials, but more importantly, it lifted the weight of financial stress from my shoulders.

It is our great pleasure to highlight the positive impact of the Atanas Bliznakoff Scholarship through the story of Jana Dukleska, a dedicated student at the Faculty of Economics at the βSs. Cyril and Methodiusβ University in Skopje.
βBecoming an ABF scholar was not just a recognition of my past achievementsβit was the beginning of a transformative journey. From the very start, the program offered more than just financial support; it gave me a sense of purpose, community, and confidence.
During my first year, I grew tremendously, both academically and personally. Surrounded by ambitious and like-minded peers, I was constantly inspired to push beyond my limits. The mentorship, workshops, and events organized by ABF helped me refine my goals and discover new perspectives on leadership and impact.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned is that being a scholar is not just about excelling in studiesβit’s about using your potential to uplift others and contribute to positive change. ABF reminded me that with opportunity comes responsibility.
To the new scholars: embrace every moment. Stay curious, ask questions, get involved, and don’t be afraid to dream bigger than ever before. You are part of something specialβmake the most of it.
Iβm deeply grateful to ABF for believing in me. This first year has laid the foundation for everything that comes next, and I couldnβt be more excited about the journey ahead. β
It is our great pleasure to highlight the positive impact of the Atanas Bliznakoff Scholarship through the story of Sabina Gudzevic, a dedicated medical student at the βSs. Cyril and Methodiusβ University in Skopje.
βBecoming a first-year university student has been one of the most exciting, but also most challenging experiences of my life. Moving away from home for the first time, adjusting to a new environment, and starting a demanding course like medicine came with a lot of pressure and responsibility.
In this journey, the βAtanas Bliznakoffβ Scholarship provided more than just financial support. It gave me a sense of security and allowed me to focus on my studies without worrying about expenses.
Because of the scholarship, I was able to afford important textbooks, attend all my classes, and stay dedicated to the intense demands of medical school. Having this kind of support in my first year of studies, which can often be critical for students, made a big difference, not just in my academic results, but also in how confident and motivated I feel.
To every student thinking about applying, I sincerely recommend it. The scholarship is not only help with money, it is support for your future and your hard work.
I am deeply grateful to the foundation for believing in students like me and giving us the chance to succeed. With the right support, achieving your dreams is a step closer.β
