Apenuvor, Renata Budzynska, Marta Grochocka-Sidorowicz, Magdalena Perdek, Sylwia Wojciechowska, Malgorzata Zawilinska-Janas.

Founded in 1925, the Kosciuszko Foundation promotes closer ties between Poland and the United States through educational, scientific and cultural exchanges. It awards up to $1 million annually in fellowships and grants to graduate students, scholars, scientists, professionals, and artists, and promotes Polish culture in America.
