2020 Academic Award Winners

2020 Academic Award Winners

The Polonia Centre Academic Awards Program encourages and rewards young Canadians of Polish background to strive for and attain the finest education their talents will allow.  We seek candidates who display academic excellence as well as service and a positive contribution to their school and Windsor community.  Participation in the cultivation of our Polish culture and principles are also important in the selection process.

The Scholarship Committee determined that the following students meet the above noted criteria and are pleased to grant them an award.   The Board of Directors of Polonia Centre (Windsor) Inc. believe that this program is an investment, in that, we are confident our recipients will become successful adults who will reinvest their skills and talents in our Polish and Windsor community.

 

This year, we are pleased to award $23,000 to ten students.  Since the inception of our Academic Award program in 1981, Polonia Centre (Windsor) Inc. has awarded a total of $467,300 to students of Polish descent in our Community.
