The War Childhood Museum (MRD) is announcing a competition for the "Lejla Hairlahović-Hušić" scholarship, which is awarded once a year to a candidate in memory of the MRD researcher who died too early. Inspired by Leila's belief that education is the foundation of society, we established the scholarship with the aim of supporting female and male researchers.

The value of the scholarship for 2023 is 3,000.00 KM and is awarded once.

            As the first winner of the "Lejla Hairlahović-Hušić" scholarship, I also feel the responsibility of this role with gratitude. In addition to the monetary contribution, which is very significant for the researcher, I would like to point out that the Commission recognized the social and scientific importance of the doctoral dissertation and evaluated the research work as high quality. Therefore, the scholarship is an additional motivational factor.
