Real Success, Real Stories: The Impact of BSB Scholarships

The impact of this scholarship is best reflected in the success stories of former students. Ilinca, a previous BSB scholarship holder, shared: The BSB scholarship was more than an opportunity for me. It was a pathway into a new academic life which tailors to the unique needs of each of its students. I was lucky to create close connections with BSB teachers, who taught me more than academics, becoming mentors and strong role models. The BSB environment allowed me to flourish, offering the freedom and support for new projects and initiatives in which I developed the skills I will need for my future.
