The programme has been run since 2000 and awarded 870 scholarship recipients.

In the 2012/2013 academic year 21 students will receive financial support as part of this project. The scholarship is worth 1500 zlotys a month. Every recipient is ensured health care service and accommodation in a double room in a student residential hall. Research stays take from 1 – 6 months, depending on a research project.

The competition, whose aim is to select the best scholarship scheme, has been organised for the third time.
