Halilovic continued his studies and was sponsored by TWI until he graduated
from ACT in June 2009. Ibro Ademovic graduated in December 2008. Nedim
Hamzic transferred to the University of Indianapolis in Athens. TWI sponsored Nedim's last semester at the University of Indianapolis
in the United States where he graduated in
December 2008. Nedim returned to Athens to take post-graduate study.
In
June 2009, Senad Halilovic graduated from Anatolia College.
CONGRATULATIONS
To receive funding from TWI, these students were required to maintain
above average grades as well as demonstrate continued leadership ability to
retain these scholarships which helped to provide food and accommodations while
in school. Students are selected on their financial need and scholastic
background. The aim of the project
is to provide future leaders of high quality to their country. In 2009,
only Senad Halilovic will be sponsored by TWI.

Sijercic to complete his senior year in High School in the United States: During
the past few years, Dzan has served as an interpreter and team leader for TWI
camps in the Balkans. In 2009, he attended the Leadership Workshop in
Montenegro. In July 2009, TWI was asked to provide administrative help for
Dzan to come to the United States to attend his senior year in high school in
New Jersey. TWI has provided this assistance and Dzan is not enrolled in high
school in New Jersey and enjoying life in the United States.
