For over a decade, Studenica Foundation has generally focused on the following endeavors and activities.
Scholarships
From its inception, Studenica Foundation has been helping worthy students in Serbia to finish their undergraduate University education.
Close to 1,000 students have so far received this meaningful support. It is indeed heartening and rewarding to receive so many letters from graduate students who say how without this support they would most likely never complete their education and how the scholarships they received “has made the difference in their lives and futures.”
