The goal of the project
We want to support as many young students from Bosnia and Herzegovina as possible to educate themselves and be drivers of positive change in our country. Our fellows are active in their community, ready to promote the values of civil liberties, democracy, anti-fascism and solidarity. The Prometheus Scholarship Fund was established in August 2017 by a group of young people at the beginning of their careers, who chose to invest their philanthropic resources in true strength and potential, to invest in young people and their education. We want the funds in the Prometheus Fund to be higher every year so that we can distribute as many scholarships as possible. Join us! We want to increase the number of co-founders and donors of the Prometheus Fund, which you can become by donating a minimum amount of 660 BAM for one round of scholarships. Anyone who wants to donate smaller amounts can do so at any time online.
Necessary financial resources
Needed: 15.000,00 BAM
Collected: 10.036,50 BAM
The challenge
Young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina face great challenges during their studies. Costs for books, accommodation, and food can be very high, and the funds they receive from parents or that they can earn from occasional seasonal jobs are modest and often insufficient. In the academic year 2020/2021. year, 7,200 KM were distributed for the award of 4 scholarships. Help us to increase the funds in the Fund and to provide a larger number of scholarships for our students in the next academic year!
The solution
Scholarships will be awarded to second- and senior-year undergraduate students at the University of Tuzla, young BiH citizens aged 19 to 25, who are motivated to be active in the community and who are willing to promote the values of civil liberties, democracy, anti-fascism and solidarity.
The purpose of the Fund is to support young people in their efforts to educate themselves, to be active members of the community, and ultimately to be the bearers of the development and emancipation of Bosnian society. When awarding scholarships, the Tuzla Community Foundation takes into account the economic status of the student, as well as the success during the studies. The monthly amount of the scholarship is 150 BAM, and it is paid to our scholarship holders for a full 12 months. You can pay the funds online, but also by bank transfer to the account of the Tuzla Community Foundation bank account no. 1321 0020 0707 4926 opened at NLB Bank with an indication that the donation is for the Prometheus Fund.

Long-term impact/results
For the fourth year, the Tuzla Community Foundation has been promoting positive values in a society in which active young people are true heroes of the community, those who learn and develop skills every day to create the future of the country as they wish. During the past three years, more than 25 thousand BAM has been collected through the “Prometheus” Fund.
Our long-term goal is to expand the circle of donors and provide funds for as many scholarships as possible. Join us! We need support in order to achieve the goals of young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, otherwise the initiators of social change and the greatest potential of a society and country.
