PRCUA Education Scholarship

Description

The PRCUA has established the Education Scholarship Program for eligible students. The PRCUA Education Scholarship will be awarded with the purpose of providing financial assistance to students to earn undergraduate, graduate or professional degrees. Scholarships are renewable through the yearly application process. Students may apply each year. However, students may only receive three PRCUA Education Scholarships total during their lifetime. Eligible applicants consist of sophomores, juniors, and seniors enrolled full-time or those students enrolled in graduate or professional degree programs. Part-time graduate or professional students are eligible. Selection criteria will include, but not be limited to, scholastic average, Polonia involvement, and community service. Two letters of recommendation are required; one must verify the student's active celebration of Polish heritage signed by the person referring the student; and one must verify the student's active community service signed by the person referring the student. These letters cannot come from a family member and unsigned letters will not be accepted. Aside from the essay question, applicants must also answer the additional interview questions in the application form. Scholarships will be awarded to students based on the number of applications submitted and are available to all students, even those who are not members of the PRCUA. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America for more information.
