The scholarship program was made possible thanks to a $60,000 grant secured by the Kosciuszko Foundation in the national competition “Cooperation with Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad in 2014” run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland. An additional grant of over $15,000 was awarded to the foundation for an update of the New KF English-Polish, Polish-English Dictionary, last published over a decade ago. The project, co-sponsored by the KF and the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union, has begun and will result in a thoroughly updated Dictionary, with online and app-based versions ready in 2015.
