In implementation of the signed Cooperation Agreement between “Association of Family Business – Bulgaria” and Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, and by decision of the Management Board, in May 2022, the Association announced the establishment of a scholarship for a student at the University's Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.

The established scholarship aims to provide a student of the educational institution with financial assistance in his preparation as a highly qualified specialist. In communication through the information channels of the Faculty of Economics, all interested students were invited to familiarize themselves with the conditions for participation and to prepare and send their applications.

With an understanding of the importance of the choice and driven by the desire to send a motivating message to all students, the Management Board of FBN Bulgaria decided to award two full scholarships in the amount of BGN 2,400 to the two most successful participants in the scholarship competition. Thus, the first two scholarship recipients of FBN Bulgaria are Iveta Dimitrova, a fourth-year student in the bachelor’s program “Economics and Finance with French” and Daniel Petrov, a fourth-year student in the bachelor's program “Business Management with German”.

Both scholarship recipients of FBN Bulgaria for the academic year 2022-2023 are students with excellent results, actively developing their skills and competence by participating in various internships and seminars. Their commitment and hard work have consistently received high marks.
