The candidates for this prestigious scholarship will present their social projects (either ongoing or already implemented) to businesses – the companies that actively support their future talents!
About the scholarship
The Bulgarian Social Impact Scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship for eight semesters of study at AUBG. It is available to Bulgarian first-year students at AUBG with a minimum high school GPA of 3.50 on a scale of 4.00 and demonstrated significant social impact in their communities. In addition to the standard application requirements for enrolment in AUBG, applicants for the Bulgarian Social Impact scholarship are also required to submit an essay, video or presentation telling the story of their social impact project, as well as at least one additional reference letter by someone who can verify the truthfulness of the project story by March 7. Projects will be evaluated from the perspective of the sustainability and scaling potential of the positive social change which they have caused, as well as from the perspective of the number of people who have been benefiting from this positive change. Students will present their projects before representatives of AUBG and the Bulgarian business. Scholarship recipients will be required to maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.50 on a scale of 4 during their entire course of study at AUBG to retain the scholarship and will be encouraged to demonstrate continued social engagement via extracurricular activities.
