Ava Radovic Selected for Boston College’s Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program

Ava Radovic ’26 has been selected for the prestigious Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program at Boston College, one of the university’s highest undergraduate honors.

The program awards full-tuition scholarships to a small group of incoming students each year who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and service. Scholars also participate in specialized enrichment opportunities, including international programs, research, internships, and leadership development throughout their time at Boston College.

Founded in 1991, the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program is considered Boston College’s premier merit scholarship program. Each year, a small cohort of students is selected from among the university’s top applicants. This year’s incoming class includes 18 scholars.

“I am beyond honored to begin this amazing program next year,” said Radovic. “Boston College’s Jesuit values and the Gabelli Program’s emphasis on caring for the common good are not only extremely aligned with my own values, but I feel it will be a great fit after my time at AHN. Additionally, I am so excited to be surrounded by unmatched faculty and staff guiding me across the world and throughout my research process.”

Radovic will begin classes at Boston College this fall.

According to Boston College, the program encourages scholars to pursue intellectual curiosity, leadership, and service while engaging with the university’s Jesuit mission and commitment to the common good.
