All funds from Lyczko Scholarship has been distributed to students. Lyczko Scholarship is no longer available. Thank you!

Polish American Association is proud to be offering a scholarship opportunity for qualified, bright and financially challenged college students of Polish descent. PAA is able to offer these funds from the generous bequest provided by Felix J. Lyczko.

Felix Lyczko, passionate about the joys and advantages of a college education was determined to make a difference in the lives of young Poles who, for lack of finances are unable to attend college.  His brother Charles died while an Air Force pilot in WWII and his son Gene in an auto accident and were unable to attend college. Deeply saddened by the untimely early deaths of both his brother and son, Felix established the Lyczko  Scholarship Fund.

In honor of his parents who both immigrated from Poland in the early 1900's, his wish is that the fund will provide an opportunity for committed young women and men of Polish heritage.  It was his hope that his contribution would inspire others to contribute to the endeavor.  The fund will be administered by a committee comprised of several board members of the Polish American Association, including Ms. Cait Lyczko, Mr. Lyczko's daughter.

The POLISH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION offers financial assistance to college students of Polish descent. Scholarships are awarded annually. The scholarships can be used at any accredited college or university.
