The Lazarski University Foundation has been facilitating access to higher education for young and talented people since its inception. We award scholarships annually, thanks to donations. In this way, we recognize young people developing their passions, who have a great hunger for knowledge. Unfortunately, often the lack of financial resources makes it difficult for them to get a good education.

However, we are keen for them to develop and gain thorough knowledge, broad competencies and skills.

We carry out public benefit activities for the benefit of the local community, i.e. our neighbors from Mokotow and Ursynów, but also the whole of Warsaw and the Mazovian province. We want the intellectual resources of Lazarski University to be available to those who need it.
