NAWA is announcing recruitment for the 6th edition of the POLONISTA NAWA program. Its aim is to promote the Polish language and popularize Polish studies and research around the world by enabling foreigners interested in the Polish language and culture to undertake studies or carry out research projects in Poland.

Foreign students, PhD students and scientists whose subject of study or research is the Polish language, Polish culture, art, literature and history are invited to participate in the program.

Under the program, students and PhD students can be granted scholarships for full or partial Polish studies at selected universities in Poland. The language of study is Polish. Scientists - scholarship holders of the POLONISTA NAWA program - can carry out research projects lasting from 3 to 12 months at Polish universities, also in English. Polish scientists and academic teachers can carry out research and teaching projects in foreign academic centers that offer Polish studies, Polish studies or Slavic studies with Polish as a minimum at the bachelor's level.

The POLONISTA NAWA program is one of the initiatives that gains a new group of recipients with each edition, from winners of the Polish Literature and Language Olympiad, students, PhD students, to scientists. I am convinced that interest in the Polish language and culture will be systematically growing - says the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange Director Dawid Kostecki, PhD. You are encouraged to use both the outbound and inbound components. It is rare for one of NAWA's programs to combine such a wealth of forms - added the Agency Director.

198 people from 22 countries, including Poland, have benefited from the previous editions of the POLONISTA NAWA programme. 164 scholarship holders are students and PhD students, and 34 are scientists.
