  2. Original school transcript(s) sent directly from the school (US only)
  3. Detailed resume or CV
  4. An essay “Why I Should Receive the Scholarship” (200 – 400 words)
  5. An original article written by the applicant on any subject about Poland (up to 700 words)
  6. Three original recommendation letters from teachers or others who are familiar with the academic background and the applicant’s plans for the future.

Please be advised that Scholarship award checks are sent from our accountants’ offices (from a different city than AIPC) directly to the university student financial office. This process can take up to a month or more. AIPC notifies the student when the verification from the university arrives. If the student does not hear from us in a month after their request to the university, they must contact our office; we do not contact them as it is their responsibility to ensure the verification letter is sent.


“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950)
