What our Recipients are Saying

“I am very thankful for being awarded the Richard C. Gorecki Scholarship. This scholarship helps me be able to focus on my medical studies and learn as much as I can to provide exceptional healthcare to the Polish American community in the future. I am very grateful for this opportunity and how the scholarship committee finds value in my extensive work with the Polish American community and goal to be a physician. As someone who grew up in a Polish-speaking household, I will uphold the virtues and values I have been taught and keep them close throughout my journey. I will never lose sight of my strong identity from my Polish heritage. 

Bardzo dziękuje za otrzymane stypendium; to jest bardzo ważne że polska organizacja doceniła moje zaangażowanie w kulturę polską i cenię sobie to że swobodnie mogę rozmawiać w języku polskim z rodziną i Polakami w stanach i w Polsce.

Again, thank you for your generous support in continuing my higher education in medicine.”
