College Grants or Scholarships in America for being of Polish decent.

Hi, I was born in the U.S and my parents are both from Poland. I was wondering if there are any college grants of scholarships here in America for people who are of Polish decent. We dont have any Polish kids at my school, and my counselors can't find anything either.

They do have essays and contests where you can win a scholarship if you are of Polish descent. They usually advertise in Polish Newspapers like the "Dziennik" or the "Gwiazda Polarna". Maybe you can google something too.

ok, thank you very much.

you probably meant to say Polish descent



this might explain your misuse of the English language

If you have citizenship, you may come to Poland and study for free.

I had the same problem at school, my counselors couldnt find anything either, so I said screw it. But you could do what Grzegorz said and go to Poland....but their schooling is harder than ours.

but i thought was only for certain grades - i know my gf has to pay for her courses and she is in uni

and they claim irish uni's are free but the registration fees are so high to make up for the 'free' tuition lol

How far back can your polish decent be? My sons great grandather came to the State. My mother in law thought I should look into this for my son. He is graduating this year, 2008. and is looking to pursue game art design. Would he qualify for any grants for scholarships?Any information would be great. How could someone with polish decent study for free in Poland?

Look on fastweb.com you plug in all your information (including nationalities) and then they show you all the various scholarships that you quality for. If I recall correctly from when I used the site many years ago, there are even some of for people of Polish descent. The site lists many scholarships that aren't well known (or at least it used to) so its a good resource to use. When I used it, it was a free service....hopefully it still is. =)
