Scholarships awarded in Poland

Rarely as a city, country or international community are we able to break down the walls that separate us and join together our common bonds, dreams and futures.

Brian's Foundation feels fortunate to have created a partnership with the Nidzica Foundation in Poland.  For 7 years, we have awarded life-changing scholarships to students in Poland to support his or her educational journey.

Thanks to sponsors of these scholarships-the Bob Nueske Family, Dr. Mike and Sue Smullen and the Weyers Family Foundation-we have continued to break down the walls and join together in our common dreams and futures.
