The Studenica Foundation was established by Serbian Americans with the goal of helping to identify and educate young talented students in the Motherland. Inspired by the first Serbian enlightener, Saint Sava, Studenica’s founders consider education to be of the upmost importance in the advancement of any nation.  

By enabling Serbian students to obtain an education, we strive to promote the ideals on which the Foundation was established - love towards God and country, loyalty towards truth, knowledge and honesty, freedom and equality.

GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

From its inception the Studenica Foundation has awarded scholarships for university studies to students in Serbia. Additionally, for almost the same period the Studenica Foundation has also distributed scholarships to students in Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina. And, since 2010 has worked in partnership with Serbian Economic Association “Privrednik” in Zagreb and awarded scholarships to Serbian students in Croatia.

We are introducing the Studenica Regional Scholarship Program that will allow donors to target their donation to a specific country: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Montenegro. 

Studenica scholarships granted to students from state universities in Serbia are only for those who are in their last two years of undergraduate studies. Post-graduate students may also apply, but priority is given to undergraduate students.

WHERE WE WORK

The majority of our scholarships to date have been awarded to students in Serbia. But as the devastating effects of the Balkan wars were widespread and students in other areas of former Yugoslavia have also had their opportunities for higher education adversely affected we have also provided assistance to them and our plan is to expand this part of the program.

We work with partners that can help to improve our reach in the region and increase access to higher education to a greater number of deserving students.  However, our new regional scholarship program hopes to also avail scholarships to Serbian students residing in the other countries in the areas of former Yugoslavia - Macedonia and Slovenia.
