To those children Association gives financial and other support so they can continue their education after finishing elementary school. Association works on multiethnic and multi religious basis; therefore activities are directed to children of all national and religious groups that exist in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our goal is to help children, who lost one or both parents, or became invalids during the war, to prepare themselves for the future through education. Through given donation we encourage children to achieve good results at school and at faculty, since we suspend scholarship in a case of failure.

Scholarships are given to children who lost one or both parents during the war, as well as to invalid and talented children. Scholarships for high school students cover children age from 14 to 18, and scholarships for college students cover youth age from 18 to 27. Among these children priority is given to those who live in more poor families, who achieve better results at school/faculty or have larger rate of invalidity and show greater talent. Information about children are received from governmental institutions that are authored by law to collect them (Cantonal ministries for social welfare), from high schools and faculties and by personal applications for scholarships. Each application should contain: filled form, two photos, confirmation of death (of father or mother), confirmation that they are regular high school or college student, confirmation on monthly wage of parent/guardian (salary/pension).

Scholarships are given every second Saturday in month, for the previous month. Every scholarship holder confirms with his signature receiving of the scholarship. Parent or guardian can take scholarship for children under 18. Signed lists are stored in archive of the Association, and they are presented to donor on his request.
