THE AWARD
​
AIPC supports American students of Polish descent for undergraduate and graduate level studies at colleges and universities with a special consideration given to students from our local community attending Florida universities. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis for one academic year. Funding is for full-time studies.
All fields and majors except STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) are eligible for scholarship funding. STEM majors are encouraged to apply for scholarship consideration at the Polish American Engineers Association of Florida, Inc. at www.PolishAmericanEngineers.com
Selected applicants are awarded financial assistance which is disbursed to the student's university account. Scholarship funds can only be used to pay for tuition, fees, books, supplies or equipment required for courses at the educational institution. (see IRS guidelines) The principal source of our scholarship fund, in addition to member dues, originates from fundraising events and donations.
Our kids are taking pride in our heritage!
What a success story!....
Thank you Rachael for sharing with us! We received this note from Diane about Rachael. "I just wanted to get in touch to send a quick thank-you note... I'm volunteering with a children's program at my local library, and to start our year the kids are all working on projects about genealogy and family history!
One of the kiddos, Rachael, was doing research online and she ended up on you.​
It turned out to be a great find! She was able to get some resources to research her polish ancestry and she decided that we needed to reach out and say thanks - so here we are LOL thank you! And together we also picked out another educational genealogy page to share with you, to pay back the favor...

ADVANCEMENT OF POLISH CULTURE THROUGH EDUCATION
Our children are our legacy. We want them to be well equipped for the challenges ahead. Cultural education consists of the capacity for reflection. Children and also young people in cultural education learn to reflect upon their own culture, culture of others and culture in general.
Our goal is to assist educational institutions in promoting Polish culture, folklore and customs so that our children will succeed in their own right and so that they will continue to promote richness and importance of Polish culture in todays' world.
