Scholarships

Polish culture reveres learning and education, and our society supports this culture by awarding scholarships to students from West Michigan who are of Polish-American descent.

Scholarships are awarded to students who attend Grand Valley State University, Aquinas College, Davenport University, and Grand Rapids Community College. In addition, our society awards universal scholarships for those attending any college or university in Michigan.

Below is a list of awardees and guidelines for eligibility.

Scholarship Guidelines

Scholarships will be awarded based on the following criteria:

• Must be a full-time student with a minimum 2.75 GPA.

All applications must be received by the Financial Aid Office by March 15. The colleges will provide the Polish Heritage Society with the applications.
