Serbian Alumni Rally for National Fund

June 1, 2017

Approximately 20 alumni and friends gathered in Belgrade last week to support CEU students from Serbia – and to save their national scholarship fund.

The Saturday, May 27 “CEU Afternoon Gathering” took place at the Cultural Centre Belgrade and included social and fundraising elements, as well as a pre-departure orientation for local students set to begin studies in Budapest this fall.

The event was highlighted by efforts to preserve the CEU Serbian Alumni Scholarship. A philanthropic initiative launched by the Serbian alumni chapter in 2014, the scholarship provides supplementary financial support for at least one student from Serbia per year.

A majority of attendees, many of them recent graduates, gave in support of the fund, raising more than $300. Despite this success, the fund is still only halfway towards reaching its goal, which it must do by Thursday, June 18.

The event was a co-production of the Belgrade Open School, CEU Alumni & Friends in Serbia, and the CEU Alumni Relations and Student Recruitment offices. Thanks to all who attended!
