USA: Winners of the Scholarship Program Organized by PSFCU and General Electric will Meet President of Poland

23 maja, 2017

The PSFCU Board Scholarship Committee selected ten winners. They are: Bartosz Bagniewski, Dominica Dul, Konrad Kopko, Damian Kulec, Mateusz Walicki, Aleksandra Winiarz, Othilla Wlodarczyk, Katarzyna Zaniewska, Mateusz Zezula and Magdalena Zielonka, who will leave for a ten-day study visit to Poland in May, along with ten other students chosen by General Electric.

Ten young members of our Credit Union will visit Poland in late May. They were the winners of the first edition of the scholarship program which the PSFCU organized together with General Electric under the patronage of the President of Poland Andrzej Duda.
They will meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda and political and economic leaders, such as the President of the National
Bank of Poland Adam Glapinski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Development Mateusz Morawiecki, and Speaker of the
Polish Senate Stanislaw Karczewski.

They will visit business institutions (such as the Warsaw Stock Exchange) and leading Polish companies (including PZU, Orlen, GE Power and CD Projekt). The visit, which will include Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Wisla and Kazimierz Dolny, will also feature Polish culture, a show at Warsaw’s Grand Theater and an introduction to the works of Chopin.
“This will be a unique trip to Poland. We think it is a way to spread knowledge of Poland among young Americans, often
with Polish roots, and make them true ‘ambassadors of Polishness’,” said PSFCU
Scholarship Committee Chairman Ryszard Bak. The program was open to PSFCU member college students with a minimum
grade average of 3.5 who distinguished themselves by their “academic performance, outstanding involvement in the
Polish-American community” and potential for “personal and professional growth”.

The new scholarship program is an excellent opportunity to introduce Poland to people who may become part of the
future elite in the United States.
