In Kosovo, too many talented and motivated young people face financial and social barriers that prevent them from pursuing higher education. That’s where the “Lulëzojnë” Scholarship Program comes in – a youth-driven initiative by TOKA, Kosovo’s leading youth development organization.

TOKA’s goal: To support 15 deserving young people from marginalized communities so they can start or continue their university studies in 2025–2026. Each scholarship recipient will receive support to cover tuition, housing, food, books, technology, or mental health services.

Note: 20% of your donation supports the administration and program implementation. This brings the total value of each scholarship to $1,400, which helps students cover school fees, housing, health-related expenses, books, laptops, and other essential academic tools.

Why “Lulëzojnë”?

“Lulëzojnë” means “they bloom” in Albanian, and this is exactly what we want to help these youth do: bloom with opportunity, with purpose, and with the education they deserve.

This scholarship doesn’t just support students financially – it empowers them to stay engaged in their communities, develop leadership skills, and become role models for others.

Who Are the Scholarships For?

We prioritize students who are:

• • From low-income or rural backgrounds

• • First-generation college students

• • Girls and young women

• • From non-majority communities or with disabilities

• • Committed to giving back through community service

How Your Donation Helps

No matter the amount — whether it’s $50 or $5,000 — your donation will directly support students who need it the most. Thanks to TOKAs and the Global Albanians Foundation partnership, your contribution is tax-deductible in the U.S. and will help us reach our fundraising goal by October 1, 2025.

Together, we can empower these young people to build a future filled with dignity, education, and meaningful contributions to their communities.
