The greatest gift to a young individual is to allow him adequate education. With this durable good a young person improves their skills, enriches his/hers virtues, and thus becomes the driving force of positive and desirable activities in the community. The basic capital of one country is its youth, and the most important investment to prosperity and a bright future is to invest in education. I was today given a special honor to be here in behalf of present hardworking fellow students to thank truly to institution that has turned these ideals into practice. As a long-time scholarship recipient I would like to specifically express my gratitude for that and I came this morning from Ljubljana in order to thank in my personal name to Mr. Director and his associates who works truly diligently, transparently and professionally all these years and wish them every success in the future with a wish, if the God gives, to have even more scholars in the next and coming years.

We scholarship recipients of Fund "Bošnjaci" have three tasks.

The first is to invest maximum of effort and dedication to become experts in scientific disciplines and professions that we deal with.
