More info on Polish Scholarship

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

In response to questions I have received, here is additional information
about the Lapinski Scholarship for Polish at UW-Madison.

The donation was over $1 million; for the 2005-2006 year we will be giving
about $25,000 in scholarships.  For the 2006-2007 year and beyond, we will
be able to give about $60,000 in scholarships.  We hope to fund one or two
graduate students with a full fellowship (one if out of state, two if in
state) and give partial or full scholarships to several undergraduates on an
annual basis as of 2006-2007.  We will be much more limited for 2005-2006 as
the full interest doesn't kick in in time for that.

Tuition can be used to pay for study abroad in Poland through UW-Madison as
well.

Sincerely,

BR
