NOVA Boris Trajkovski Scholarship

The scholarship program was established in 2005 in honor of the late Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski. The president's family believed that individual leadership potential and an international mindset could be the cornerstones of a program focused on educating high school students (grades 9-12) in a system different from public schools.

The academic 2025-2026 marks our 20th year of celebrating this program's partnership with the BT International Foundation. 

Between 2005 - 2023, the BT-NOVA Scholarship program supported the matriculation of 59 full-tuition scholarship students.
