Our Scholars about the Foundation
Finance and Accounting student
Receiving the Platinum Scholarship, I felt honored for all the effort I put into my education and activities for the University. I intend to use the funds received for my own development, in particular - to take care of my work-life balance by developing non-academic interests. I think it is important to support institutions such as the Kozminski Foundation, because they reward people who always want to do that few percent more, which is extremely valuable. I keep my fingers crossed for future students applying for scholarships and thank you for being ambitious and challenging in your efforts.
Law student
Receiving the Gold Scholarship was an extraordinary experience for me and an honor for a year of really hard, exhaustive professional work combined with studying for a law degree. Numerous words of appreciation and pride coming from members of the Kozminski Foundation gave me encouragement and a feeling that the effort put in was not in vain, and that Kozminski University promotes valuable attitudes among students. Receiving the scholarship will enable me to further my professional and academic development. I plan to spend the funds from the scholarship on the purchase of textbooks to study for the entrance exam for the lawyer's application, the exam for the tax advisor, and further study of the Chinese language. Of course, I will also not forget about small pleasures for myself. I sincerely encourage everyone to support the Kozminski Foundation, which, by organizing wonderful initiatives, enables talented people to develop and at the same time encourages them to undertake activities for the common good. To the students who will apply for Foundation scholarships in the future, I wish them good luck! Remember to aim high, work hard, think long-term and show initiative, while not forgetting that you are part of society
Management student
Receiving the Platinum scholarship, I was filled with pride and a sense of great motivation in pursuit of the intended goals. Of course, many of our goals are preceded by challenges, thanks to which we have the opportunity to become even better on the way to the intended success. Personally, I am glad that this year I have encountered so many such challenges on my way, because thanks to them I can proudly represent the group of scholarship recipients of the Kozminski Foundation. I wholeheartedly encourage you to support the Kozminski Foundation, an institution that recognizes the potential and effort put in by people involved in building a valuable academic community. To the students who are also applying for a scholarship from the Kozminski Foundation, I wish you perseverance in pursuing your goal and remember that every challenge you encounter on your way brings you closer to this success.
Economics and Management graduate
With great joy, I would like to express my deep gratitude for the Kozminski Foundation scholarship which I received three times. It was a great honor for me, especially since I was selected to receive this scholarship among so many candidates.
The scholarship was a motivation not only to deepen my knowledge even more intensively but above all, it gave me faith that my goals can be achieved - the only thing that matters is how much work I put into them. I can honestly say that this award allowed me to achieve my goal and dream, which was to set up a programming school after graduation, which is my greatest success so far.
I would like to thank all the people who contributed to the establishment of the Kozminski Foundation scholarship. People who co-create the Foundation help new generations to look with hope into the future.
On the other hand, I would like to tell people who apply for a Kozminski Foundation scholarship to believe in themselves, because this faith, together with the work undertaken, will lead them to a better future.
Absolwentka kierunku Zarządzanie
Stypendium Fundacji Koźmińskich stało się dla mnie nie tylko wsparciem finansowym, ale przede wszystkim motywacją do dalszego rozwoju. Dzięki temu wyróżnieniu mogłam skupić się na realizacji swoich planów, takich jak uczestnictwo w międzynarodowych konferencjach naukowych, zdobywanie doświadczenia zawodowego poprzez praktyki czy kontynuowanie nauki na wyższym poziomie. Dzisiaj spełniam zarówno swoje cele zawodowe jak i marzenia uczestnicząc w stażu naukowym na zagranicznej Uczelni: ESCP w Paryżu.
Fundacja pomaga studentom i absolwentom Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego w Polsce i za granicą. Zdecydowanie warto być zaangażowanym w działalność Fundacji Koźmińskich i Klub Absolwenta ALK. Są to organizacje, które oferują pomoc dla młodych, zdolnych osób. Poprzez wspieranie tych inicjatyw, wspieramy przyszłość naszej społeczności: kobiet i mężczyzn, pomagając im rozwijać się i realizować różnorodne pasje.
Chciałabym podzielić się ze wszystkimi studentkami i studentami ubiegającym się o stypendia, aby nigdy nie tracili wiary we własne możliwości i aby wyznaczali sobie ambitne cele. Warto dążyć do swoich marzeń, ciężko pracować i być gotowym na wyzwania, jakie stawia przed nami życie. Nie ma przecież nic piękniejszego niż rozwój siebie i innych! :)
Absolwentka kierunku Zarządzanie i Prawo
Fundacja Koźmińskich od blisko już dwóch dekad kształtuje liderów przyszłości, krzepi postawy przedsiębiorcze, umożliwia spełnianie marzeń i realizację celów studentom Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego. To jedyna w swoim rodzaju instytucja, która daje młodym ludziom wiarę w swoje możliwości, przybliża ich do osiągania sukcesów, ale przede wszystkim honoruje ich ciężką pracę, determinację i poświęcenie. Dzięki trwającemu od 2017 r. wsparciu Fundacji, mogłam pozwolić sobie na zdobywanie wiedzy i networking podczas zagranicznych szkół letnich, konferencji oraz wyjazd na wymianę międzynarodową. Miałam również szansę na naukę języków obcych, czy zaangażowanie się w dużym stopniu na rzecz życia akademickiego ALK. Studentek i studentów Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego z dużym apetytem na rozwój jest bardzo wielu, dlatego tak wielce istotną rolę na ich drogach pełni wsparcie Fundacji Koźmińskich. Wszystkim studentom i studentkom, którzy będą ubiegać się o stypendia, chciałabym powiedzieć, aby mimo porażek na drodze usłanej sukcesami, nigdy się nie poddawali i traktowali takie momenty jak lekcje, z których wyciągną wnioski. Równie ważną postawą, do której zachęcam, to nieporównywanie się do innych, bo nikt nie może i nie zagra lepiej Waszej roli niż Wy sami.

Zbiórka środków na pomoc dla 9-letniej Weroniki
Dear Friends of the Kozminski Foundation
Once again we are asking for your help. You have never failed, so with all the more boldness we ask you to do so this time as well. The Kozminski family has big hearts and can work miracles. Our support is needed by 9-year-old Veronika, who is bravely fighting autism and who, together with her Parents, sent us a beautiful letter.
I'm Veronika, I'm 9 years old, and I would like to share my extraordinary journey with you. Autism is a challenge for me, but I am constantly striving towards my goal with a smile on my face.
I am an intelligent and charming child, and despite my communication difficulties, I show that I am capable of great things. My path is different, but thanks to my steadfast determination and the love of my family, I gain new skills every day.
My smile and cheerful character impress everyone who meets me. I am an inspiration, I often hear that perseverance leads to success, that I am a source of motivation for my family and friends.
Although I don't communicate traditionally, every social interaction is a huge challenge for me, after 6 years of intensive rehabilitation I have started to express my first needs verbally. Although these are single words that I manage to express in moments of great emotion, these are steps toward communication. This is a huge accomplishment and opens the door to the future for me, although I don't know if I will ever be able to talk to other people as you do.
The monthly cost of my rehabilitation is a huge challenge. Speech therapy, psychologist, hippotherapy, swimming pool, rehabilitation holidays - all this costs from 5 to 10 thousand zloty per month. It's a lot, but we can see what benefits it brings for me. Every step I have taken is a source of great pride for my parents, sister, family and friends.
Therefore, I now turn to you, our esteemed University community. I am asking for your support to continue my rehabilitation and get closer to my goal - full communication with others. Your support is very important to me and I will be very grateful to you for supporting me on this path. We believe that I am capable of even greater things, but we need your help. We dream that one day Veronika will be able to express these thoughts in person, in any form. We are proud of every step we manage to achieve together, but we still have a long way to go and millions of small steps ahead of us that will bring us closer to Vera's communication and independence.
Parents of Veronika Wiercinska.

Fundraising to help Magda
Dear Friends of the Kozminski Foundation
Once again we are asking for your help. This time she needs it Magdalena Tomaszewska-Wal - a wonderful woman, wife of our 51 thread Executive MBA graduate Michal and mother of three wonderful children. The Kozminski family has big hearts and can work miracles. They have never failed to do so, so it is with all the more boldness that we ask them to do so this time as well.
Recently, just before Christmas, a rather brutal blow fell on Magda in the form of a diagnosed breast tumor - triple-negative and malignant cancer. An in-depth diagnostic has so far confirmed no metastasis and the chances of a cure at this stage are significant, but the risk of recurrence is also high. Magda has just started chemotherapy. The effectiveness of the treatment, according to the literature and as confirmed also by oncology specialists, including Magda's attending physician, can be significantly increased by the simultaneous use of immunotherapy, which unfortunately is not reimbursed by the National Health Fund. The cost is very high and beyond the ability to finance entirely from savings and Magda and Michael's current income alone.
We turn to you - the Leon Kozminski Academy community with a big heart - to ask for financial support for Magda. Every amount, even the smallest, in this fight - for health - is of enormous importance. Let's help Magda to "chase her grandfather" (that's what Magda calls the cancer for her own use, to tame it a bit).
Contributions can be made: 1. by going to the Foundation's website and clicking on "Support the Foundation - Online Payment" and then selecting "Fundraising to help Magda" from the list. 2. directly to the Foundation's account: 14 2130 0004 2001 0673 5369 0001 with the note "Help for Magda".
Fundraising to help Łukasz!
October 2022 is the month when the life of a postgraduate marketing lecturer working with Kozminski University since 2013 turned upside down. We hope that the Kozminski University community, reliable in difficult situations, will rise to the occasion this time too. Łukasz Sowiński, needs our help. We have shown many times that together we can do anything. This time it will be the same!
Since 2013, Łukasz has been bravely struggling with a genetic disease - Marfan syndrome. In the course of an uneven fight, he underwent as many as 3 operations to remove aneurysms on different parts of the aorta. Unfortunately, the last and most difficult operation, which took place in October 2022, did not go entirely successfully, as Luke suffered a massive stroke as a result.
Doctors did not give Luke much chance of survival, yet he regained consciousness and awareness. He also started breathing on his own.
Currently, Lukasz requires comprehensive 24-hour care and professional rehabilitation, including neurological, neurological and physiotherapeutic treatment that takes into account his disease, Marfan syndrome.

In solidarity with Ukraine
February 24, 2022 is a date that went down in the history of Europe and the world. Missiles fell on independent Ukraine and a black scenario came true that no one wanted to think about. This symbolic date will also remind us of our solidarity and unity every year. As a KU community, we pass the exam of being human in an exemplary manner. And you can still help!
From the first day of the war in Ukraine, we have been collecting funds to support the victims - our students, graduates, employees, and friends of Kozminski University. Thanks to the collected funds, we provided support with a total value of over PLN 400,000 PLN for almost 200 people in need.
We collected food, hygiene products, blankets, clothes and products for children, as well as pet food. We donated over 2,500 medical kits to the territorial defense forces in Ukraine. We donated 300 sleeping bags and 500 pillows to refugee points. Together with Getinge company, we acquired a mobile operating table with battery-powered lamps, which went to one of the Ukrainian field hospitals to save the lives and health of war victims.

Konferencja odbędzie się w formie stacjonarnej w czwartek 1 czerwca 2023 r.
Wraz z dynamicznym postępem technologicznym transformacja cyfrowa zmienia nasze życie i jednocześnie otwiera przed nami nowe perspektywy. Branża IT rozwija się w zawrotnym tempie i oferuje wiele różnych możliwości rozwoju kariery zawodowej.

Skierowana jest przede wszystkim do studentek i absolwentek studiów wyższych z regionu mazowieckiego, ale mile widziani będą również przedstawicielki i przedstawiciele innych grup społecznych, zainteresowani rozpoczęciem kariery w branży IT.
Konferencja jest finansowana ze środków (kwota 20 000 zł) otrzymanych od Narodowego Instytutu Wolności - Centrum Rozwoju Społeczeństwo Obywatelskiego, w ramach grantu przyznanego nam przez Operatora Our Future Foundation w ramach programu Fundusz Młodzieżowy.
