In the calendar of the "Horyzonty" Scholarship Programme, the end of August sees an integration meeting of male and female scholarship holders qualified to participate in the Programme. So far, this event has taken place in the Tri-City. This year, for the first time, it took place in the capital, where the two Foundations implementing the "Horyzonty" Scholarship Programme: The Roman Czernecki Educational Foundation and the Starak Family Foundation have their headquarters and carry out their activities.

The Starak Family Foundation has decided, with the greatest satisfaction, to award 31 of the 57 four-year scholarships in the 2021/2022 school year to students throughout Poland who are enrolling to the most interesting high schools in the country and who have met the criteria for the Horizons Scholarship Program which has been implemented for six years in cooperation with the EFC Foundation. 

In an exceptionally difficult school year 2020/2021, the Starak Family Foundation continues to engage in the Horizons Scholarship Programme. The Foundation currently supports 109 Fellows, including 29 youngest participants of the Programme.

In the school year 2019/2020, the Starak Family Foundation continues to be engaged in the Horizons Scholarship Programme. The Foundation currently finances 120 scholarships for young people from small towns, from economically disadvantaged homes. In the frame of the Programme, young people decided to continue their education in the best and most interesting high schools and vocational schools situated in large cities across Poland.

The third edition of the Horizons Scholarship Programme involving the Starak Family Foundation – July 2018. The Starak Family Foundation has financed scholarships for 40 Fellows. This means that since September 2018, the Foundation has granted a total of 120 Fellows with the scholarship. Our young Fellows frequently take part in local initiatives, helping to raise money for social causes, conducting voluntary work or helping as tutors. Among them are scouts, wild animal keepers, engineers mending old machines, and advisors to the Children’s Rights Ombudsman. They are open-headed, full of ideas, and fearless.
