ZIRA Scholarship Recipients for the 2025/2026 School Year

The company ZIRA continues its long-standing support for our young musicians through a scholarship program that covers the full cost of the annual tuition fee at BASICSchool – School of Music and Performing Arts. The sixth ceremonial ZIRA scholarship award was held on 18 December 2025 as part of the New Year’s Concert of our instrumental departments, where we celebrated the dedication, talent, and achievements of our students together.

Following the public Call for Applications and the review of all submitted applications, the Selection Committee—acting in accordance with the defined criteria and the Rulebook—made its decision on the scholarship recipients for the 2025/2026 school year. Scholarships were awarded in two categories (Group 1 and Group 3). As no applications were submitted for Group 2, the planned scholarship for that group was reallocated in line with the rules of the Call and the ranking results in the remaining groups.

ZIRA Scholarship Recipients for the 2025/2026 School Year:

• Alem Dedić – Piano Department

• Arian Hota – Piano Department

• Petra Vrebac – Piano Department

• Emir Branković – Guitar Department

• Mirko Škrkar – Guitar Department

We would like to thank ZIRA for its trust and continued partnership, and we also thank all candidates and parents for their applications. Congratulations to our scholarship recipients—we wish you a successful and inspiring school year!
