“The most valuable asset this country has is not gold or oil
but the minds of young people.”
-Dr. Irving A. Fradkin, Founder of Scholarship America
BAPA supports exceptional Bosnian American scholars; by providing financial assistance to students in need, we are sowing seeds for a stronger generation of Bosnian American academics and working professionals.
BAPA’s Scholarship Program supports Bosnian American students who are oftentimes navigating an educational system unfamiliar to them as first-generation attendees. By helping students further their education, we are investing in the growth of future leaders of the Bosnian American community.
This scholarship cycle is our 10th year of awarding scholarships to high-achieving students heavily involved in the Bosnian community. Our scholarships provide students with money that can be used to pay tuition and costs affiliated with university, such as textbooks and on-campus housing. In addition to financial support, our Scholarship Program encourages recipients to develop important relationships with like-minded individuals. Scholarship recipients work with BAPA board members and mentors to craft projects of their choice that they present at our annual forum.

Scholarships Offered
BAPA offers two kinds of scholarships: the BAPA Scholarship and the Bosana Foundation Scholarship, which is sponsored by the Bosana Foundation. Each of these scholarships has different eligibility requirements.
Aid amounts and the number of students awarded vary annually based on how much money we raise in a given year. Last year, BAPA awarded five stellar students $5,000 each.
Our 2025 scholarship application is now closed.
