Doctoral Scholarship program

The Program is funded by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation.

The aim of the Program is to encourage outstanding grant holders of scholarship programs implemented by EEF and funded by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation who come from small towns and rural areas to develop their knowledge and continue their studies at doctoral level and at the same time contributing to the development of young generation of scholars.

The prerequisite for Ph.D grant is the submission of an application form and enrollment upon Ph.D studies at university.
The grant amounts to PLN 18.000 annually and it is paid out in monthly installments. In the first semester the grant is awarded on the basis of qualifying procedure. In successive semesters the prerequisite for grant continuation will be the opinion of a promoter about progress in developing the concept or preparations of doctoral thesis.

In 2008, within the first  edition of the Program 10 grants were awarded.
