Each year since the summer of 2016, a private couple in Wisconsin has generously donated funds to the Kosciuszko Foundation for scholarships to  support Wisconsin students of Polish descent to study the Polish language and  history through the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. 

The scholarship covers program fees for Session A, a 4-week program. Program fees include: tuition, a Polish language textbook, accommodation in double room, meals, tourist program as well as cultural program and a non-returnable fee). The Kosciuszko Foundation pays program fees directly to the Jagiellonian University on behalf of Wisconsin Scholarship winners.
