The Leaders of Change Foundation announces an open competition for the Lane Kirkland Scholarship Program for the 2024-2025 academic year in Poland. The author and founder of the program is the Polish-American Freedom Foundation and it is also financially supported by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).
For nearly 24 years now, the Lane Kirkland Scholarship Program has been supporting individual development of young, ambitious and active citizens of selected states in Eastern Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. The goal of the Program is to share the Polish experience of political transformation and integration with the European Union. The group of over 1000 alumni of the Program includes members of governments, MPs, managerial staff of large multinationals, heads of local authorities and well-known social activists.
The Program offers two semesters of study in one of four Polish academic centers (Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, Lublin) and at least two weeks of professional internship in state, private, or non-governmental organizations. The program also offers training and workshop programs.
