"Lulezojne" Scholarships for Kosovo Youth

Dear Lulëzojnë Supporters,

As we approach the end of this remarkable year, we want to express our deepest gratitude to you. It is with great pride and joy that we share that 22 outstanding students have been selected as the "Lulëzojnë" Scholars for the academic year 2025/26.

On October 24th, during our Scholarship Award Ceremony, we had the privilege of meeting them in person - a moment filled with hope, emotion, and sincere appreciation for everyone who made this possible.

From the moment we launched "Lulëzojnë" on TOKA’s 10th anniversary in May, we have never been alone in this journey. Your trust, generosity, and belief in Kosovo’s youth have been the driving force behind this initiative's continued success. For this, we are deeply grateful.

The Lulëzojnë" Scholarship has quickly become a prestigious and highly sought-after opportunity. This year, we received an extraordinary 1,023 applications from young people across Kosovo. TOKA run a rigorous, transparent, and inclusive selection process:

• 1,023 total applications received
• 973 valid applications reviewed during Phase 1
• 260 applicants passed to the Qualitative Review
• 48 finalists interviewed
• 22 scholarship recipients selected

This multi-stage evaluation - administrative screening, qualitative review, and interviews - was made possible thanks to the involvement of over 20 partner organizations, businesses, universities, and individual supporters.

Thanks to your contributions, the 22 scholarships were awarded as follows:

• “Lulëzojnë with ISA Consulting Group” - 11 IT students, 3rd year;
