The presence of such a large number of participants at this Competition proves not only the talents of these participants, but also the quality of the teaching at their schools, along with the hard work of the students and their teachers.
As a reward for their achievements in the competition, the management of the International University of Sarajevo awarded the top three students in the Competition for Secondary Schools each a scholarship to study at the International University.
The main objective of this scholarship is to encourage them concretely for further education and their professional development and as far as possible, to promote computer knowledge and skills among talented young people.
By providing free education at the International University of Sarajevo, the intention is to keep those young computer geniuses at the University and therefore, stay in their country, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is interesting to note that the 2nd Placed Competitor, Daniel Ferizović from Bosanski Petrovac, is the brother of last year's 2nd Placed Competitor in the same competition, Damir Ferizović, who continued his education successfully in Germany.
