Outstanding international students needed!

Education Foundation Perspektywy seeks motivated, curious, and ambitious international students who actively contribute to their academic communities across Polish universities. Each year, with the support of higher education institutions, the Foundation receives numerous outstanding nominations for the Interstudent title. This year they will choose them for the 16^th time, and this time round the competition gala will take place in Kraków, during the annual “Foreign Students in Poland” conference hosted by the Jagiellonian University.

For who?

Awards will be granted to international students from three degrees levels:

Bachelor’s,
Master’s,
Doctoral (Doctoral Schools).
Starting with this edition, there will be presented a new award for the Best Student of Polish Descent studying in Poland.
The Jury may additionally grant a Special Award for unique achievements.

Applications are open until 17 December, 2025

How to Apply?

International cooperation offices, lecturers, and fellow students are encouraged to nominate exceptional international students — those who excel academically and contribute socially, culturally, artistically, or through sports.

If you believe you’re a good fit, ask someone to nominate you — a friend, your dean, an international officer, or a student organisation.
❗Remember: you cannot apply on your own; a recommendation is required.
