"Boris Kamilarov" Scholarship
Welcome!
Welcome to the "Boris Kamilarov" Scholarship page!
The scholarship is an idea of classmates from the German High School in Sofia, who completed their higher education in Germany and Austria. It has been awarded annually since 2014 in memory of our great friend and active member of the Bulgarian student society in Berlin - Boris Kamilarov. Our mission is to support young and talented Bulgarian students in the difficult initial stage of their studies at a German university. We hope to find active Bulgarian young people, ambitious to work and achieve success, but also ready to be helpful and responsible to their compatriots abroad.
The scholarship consists of a one-time financial aid of at least EUR 500 and mentoring support for applying to German and other foundations in order to finance the subsequent stages of academic education. It is aimed at future or current students in Germany up until the 3rd semester of their studies (bachelor's, master's or other university programs). Applicants must demonstrate excellent track record, social activity and engagement for current events in Bulgaria. You will find additional information in the section "About the scholarship", where you will find the stories of some of our fellows.

About the scholarship
Boris Kamilarov Scholarship is an initiative of already graduated university students from the German High School and their friends, through which to support young Bulgarian students with proven academic success and social activity during the initial stage of their study in Germany. It has been awarded annually since 2014 in memory of our great friend and active member of the Bulgarian Student Society in Berlin - Boris Kamilarov.
Always smiling and dedicated, Boris was one of the brightest young Bulgarians who decided to graduate. education in Berlin. With a lot of talent, diligence and sincere curiosity, he quickly became a leading and award-winning student at the Technical University of Berlin and was chosen by his professors to participate in innovative and prestigious research projects. Bob he loved interesting academic challenges and boldly approached to the problems. He never gave in to the ordinary difficulties of life and was able to find the positive in every situation.
Boris loved Bulgaria very much and worked for the maintenance of the beautiful Bulgarian traditions and customs. He danced in Bulgarian folklore ensemble, sang in the church choir and actively participated in the cultural initiatives of the Bulgarian community. But above all, after Bob remains the memory of his human kindness and endless devotion to family and friends. He was always ready to help a friend, comfort him and create a good mood. That is why even now we hope that Bob's example will be contagious for some Bulgarian girl or boy who is ambitious to work and achieve success, but also ready in turn to be responsive and responsible to others.
Since we created the scholarship, we have managed to select 13 girls and boys who successfully study various specialties in Germany, such as law, music, architecture, etc. In addition to the one-time initial support, our team provided mentoring support to selected fellows to apply to German and other foundations in order to finance the entire academic education. We are glad that our efforts have already achieved results and 5 of our fellows have won full scholarships and opened many new opportunities. Check out some of them below. We hope that their success will be an example for many more girls and boys!
What have we achieved?
OUR SCHOLARSHIPS
Zdravka Ivanova, town of Kazanlak
I study instrumental art at the University of Music and Theater in Munich. With the support of my mentor from the Boris Kamilarov Scholarship, I also fought for two more German scholarships and I was approved for an Erasmus exchange at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid.
The scholarship motivates me to join the Bulgarian Student Association in Munich, of which I was elected chairman. With our small and cohesive team we are fighting to resume the Bulgarian student cultural events in the city.
Boris Kamilarov Scholarship gave an amazing start to my training abroad. I think it is important for each of us to proudly present our homeland - to participate and promote it in various cultural events. I hope that in the future I will be given many more opportunities through which to contribute even a small part of the people to touch the traditions and culture of the Bulgarians.
Yordan Terziev, 21
I decided to study law in Berlin, where I have the opportunity to focus entirely on education, to develop my language skills, to learn about a new culture, to make new friends, and to grow as a person.
Going back to the beginning of this journey, I always remember with a smile the impetus I received through the Boris Kamilarov Scholarship. Apart from the financial support, I am also grateful for the mentoring program. It is very important to me because it gives me valuable advice and guidance in preparing for a German scholarship. I gained invaluable experience in writing cover letters and behaving in interviews.
I hope that in time I will have the opportunity to provide similar support. Students need such initiatives, and abroad they are even more valuable.
Kristina Gerganova, Sofia
My name is Kristina Gerganova and I graduated from the 91st German Language High School "Professor Konstantin Galabov" in the city of Sofia. I live in Berlin and study Dentistry in Charites.
I have chosen a difficult specialty that requires financial stability, as students have to bear the cost of all the necessary materials and tools for the courses. The scholarship helped to cover the costs of training and provided me with peace of mind, while continuing to develop professionally and personally.
I am sincerely grateful to everyone who supported me.
Miracles happen to those who are brave enough to wish for them and persistent enough in the pursuit of their dreams!
Kristina Tomova, Varna
Architecture has been my passion for many years and I am very happy to study it in Germany. Here I receive not only elite professional knowledge and opportunities for development, but also many life lessons.
I am infinitely grateful to the Boris Kamilarov Scholarship for the mentoring support I receive in difficult times. Together we walked the path to being a scholarship holder of a German organization. In the beginning I applied for financial support, but I received something much more - inspiration from the example of successful young Bulgarians.
My motivation for success is now based not only on the idea of personal development, but also on the desire to contribute as an architect and citizen to create a more aesthetic, humane, inspiring and supportive living environment.
