March 05, 2014
On Sunday, March 23th, 2014, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm in the General Consulate of Poland in NY the third edition of the Fair of Polish Universities will be held. The fair will be attended by representatives of Polish universities, who will provide sufficient information on the terms and possibilities of studying in Poland. Fair is organized by the Polish Supplementary School Center in America, the Polish General Consulate in New York and the Manko Association
The report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows that in the district of New York City live more than 3.6 million people who declare any relationship with Poland. The high cost of studying in the United States is the reason that young people of Polish origin look for alternatives.
The first Education Fair was held in New York in March 2012, on the initiative of the former Polish Consul for Polonia Mr. Przemysław Balcerzyk and Dr. Dorothy Andraki, President of the Polish Supplementary School Center in New York.
“During the discussions with students about collegeges, about the financial possibilities of their families, about their bilingualism, I realized they need information and assistance in completing the procedures. Therefore, the idea of an educational fair was born,” says Dr. Dorothy Andraka, one of the initiators of the first edition of the fair.
Fair is directed primarily to the young people of Polish origin who graduated from the American high schools.
During this year’s fair participants will have a chance to get introduced to a Polish universities offer, receive information about opportunities to study in English, forms of financing studies, the formal steps to be taken and the deadlines for submitting papers to study in Poland. This year novelty will be a competition concerning the most interesting offer.
