Scholarships

PACIM administers a growing scholarship program funded by generous donors who want to establish a legacy for Polish heritage and support the academic pursuits of future generations. 

Polanie Legacy Scholarship

The Polanie Legacy Scholarship, established in 2014 through a generous bequest from the Polanie Organization, supports studies at post-secondary institutions, including colleges, universities, technical schools, and vocational schools. Preferential consideration will be given to residents of Minnesota and Wisconsin and members of PACIM.

Each scholarship will be awarded in the amount of up to $2000. Multiple scholarships may be awarded each year. If no applicants meet the criteria, no scholarship will be awarded. Applicants may apply in successive years for consideration.
