During the academic 2013/2014 year, the Ministry of Veterans’ Affairs gave 1,332 scholarships to pupils and students. For this purpose the government of Zenica Doboj Canton singled out budget of a million and a half BAM from its budget.
From the analysis of the current period, it is evident that those who have achieved good success are the ones who are given scholarships and who are members of the veteran population.
At the same time, the scholarships are often given to students whose families are in need and those scholarships fully justify their purpose.
From a total of 1 332 granted scholarships to the first and second cycle studies, 770 students are children of demobilized soldiers, 266 children of fallen soldiers, 189 children of war invalids, 96 children of killed soldiers and 11 children of deceased war invalids.
It is evident that every year, the number of those who apply for these funds is increasing. The previously mentioned should be borne in mind when planning the budget for the coming school year.
