Dear Science Educators,

The Kościuszko Foundation administers a $5,000 scholarship for undergraduate students of Polish descent.  Please pass on this information to possible candidates as well as faculty and staff that may be in positions to further disseminate this information.

Requirements of the “Drs. James and Wanda Trefil Science Scholarship” include:
•       Undergraduate student of Polish descent, US citizen or permanent resident
•       Outstanding promise in the natural sciences
•       Minimum 3.5 GPA
•       Deadline January 5, 2017

Please be so kind as to post the attached flyer and forward the attached information to possible candidates.  The link includes Requirements and Application, though it has not yet been updated for 2016-2017: http://www.thekf.org/kf/scholarships/tuition/science/

Thank you very much for disseminating this information among your science students who may have Polish heritage.  The scholarship is sponsored by James Trefil, Clarence J. Robinson Professor of Physics at George Mason University, and prolific writer of 50 books.  His wife, Wanda, is of Polish descent, and a life-long teacher.  The Drs. Trefil owe their educations to scholarships, and they delight in locating and helping outstanding students to achieve their goals.
