FIFTH GENERATION OF SCHOLARS: 52 NEW RECIPIENTS OF THE ATANAS BLIZNAKOFF SCHOLARSHIP FOR STUDENT EXCELLENCE

Fifty-two first-year undergraduate students at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje have been awarded the Atanas Bliznakoff Scholarship for Student Excellence. Each scholar will receive USD 2,500 per year. The scholarships are funded by the Atanas Bliznakoff Foundation and the program is implemented by Macedonia2025.

The scholarships are intended for students with outstanding academic achievement and strong motivation for personal development who lack sufficient financial means for their education. This year, for the first time, the Open Call was divided into two parts. The number of recipients is 52 rather than the planned 50, because the final candidates received an identical number of points.
