University Scholarships
Together in Support of the Future of Youth in Bulgaria
Together in support of the future of young people in Bulgaria. The “Garden of Cognition” Foundation and the “Ignatovi Family” Foundation combine their resources, experience, and vision in a shared national cause: creating a cohesive, sustainable, and innovative environment for personal development, education, and professional realization of young minds.
We believe that social status and financial difficulties should never stand in the way of potential and ambition. So far, more than 34 disadvantaged youth — with high academic achievements and strong spirit — have been approved and are now walking their path toward personal and professional growth with our full support.
Our program goes beyond traditional charity by providing a comprehensive, 360-degree support model:
Funding + Training + Mentorship + Career Start.
Long-term financial security for higher education
