The Rafał Brzoska Foundation is proud to announce the conclusion of the 4th edition of its scholarship competition. This initiative remains a cornerstone of the Foundation’s mission: to support young, talented, and ambitious individuals at the threshold of their educational and professional journeys.

Since its inception, the competition has garnered immense interest from young visionaries. This year was no exception, as we once again received a record-breaking number of applications.

Candidates represented a vast array of backgrounds, academic disciplines, and fields of activity. Every submission served as proof of the immense potential within the younger generation, as well as a testament to their determination, passion, and commitment to excellence.

The Selection Process

The Selection Committee – comprising Foundation Mentors, Alumni, industry experts, and Foundation representatives – conducted a meticulous evaluation of each application. The process was guided by substantive criteria, social impact, and the innovativeness of the proposed ideas. Following an in-depth analysis, a group of finalists was selected for online interviews with the Committee. In the final stage, the semi-finalists met for decisive conversations with the Founders themselves.
