The Parus Foundation, with the consent of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology of the Republic of Slovenia, started to implement its mission in January 2006.

With its founding act, it undertook to allocate the collected funds for the granting of postgraduate studies of commercial law and law of legal and economic sciences. In this way, the Parus Foundation enables the most successful graduates from the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana to study at the most prestigious universities in the world, including, for example, Harvard and Yale.

MISSION

The Parus Foundation offers assistance to the most successful law graduates for postgraduate studies in the most intellectually stimulating environments of the world’s best universities.

Only with the highest level of knowledge we can actively participate in solving the most complex global legal and social challenges.
