    About the company

    Melon, now part of global digital transformation consultancy Kin + Carta, would not have existed without AUBG. The founding partners all met at AUBG, between 1995 and 1998. Some of them actually started running the first projects from the AUBG campus. Twenty or so years of successful business growth later, the partners decided to help keep our alma mater a place where new, similar endeavours can spring up. At the time of its acquisition, Melon had offices in Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. For this reason, and as a sign of gratitude to colleagues and local communities that helped develop the company in these countries, the scholarship is available exclusively to students from this part of the world and with interest in majors that made Melon possible.
