The funding period runs from September 2026 to June 2027.<\/p>\n
For the 2026\/2027 academic year, SBW Bulgaria<\/strong> is awarding a total of three scholarships, each providing monthly financial support of \u20ac150. Under the programme\u2019s regulations, funding begins in September each year and is paid monthly during the academic year. One scholarship is intended for students in Grades 5 to 7, with two further scholarships for students in Grades 8 to 12 of the Bulgarian school system.<\/p>\nThe scholarships recognise the students\u2019 achievements and dedication during the previous academic year and support them in continuing their education.<\/p>\n
Selection takes into account academic performance<\/strong> during the previous academic year and participation in extracurricular activities<\/strong>, such as competitions or courses at education centres. The family\u2019s financial circumstances are also considered. In this way, the programme combines recognition of achievement with practical support for students\u2019 education.<\/p>\nThe programme\u2019s name captures the idea behind this support: opening up opportunities for young people today can help them act more independently and shape their own future tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our vision is a world in which people can develop their potential and improve their living conditions, regardless of their background. Education is an essential foundation for achieving this.<\/p>\n
The awarding of scholarships in Bulgaria<\/strong> reflects this idea. It supports young people while they are still at school and recognises their academic achievements<\/strong> and extracurricular activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Our mission: Supporting people throughout their education<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>SBW Bulgaria\u2019s mission<\/a> connects a healthy environment, innovative education and health awareness with young people\u2019s personal development.
