SPECIAL SUPPORT FOR FORMER APPLICANTS TO LAP/ALP PROGRAM FROM ALL SECTORS: 7 500 PLN net (Fellowship Level of 50%)
We are granting this special support for former applicants for LAP & ALP in the amount of 7 500 PLN because we wish to acknowledge your commitment and effort to study with us. To our regret, there are many talented applicants who could not be accepted to LAP or ALP due to a very limited number of seats available in those programs. Up to 16 candidates applied for one spot in the Academy in the past and we cannot accommodate all applications. We hope that the participation in the PLD with this special support will be a valuable reward for your past effort and we hope to learn more about you during the program. Participating in the PLD does not preclude you from participating in LAP or ALP in the future.
