The mission of the Jerzy Juzoń Educational Foundation is to support talented young people who have to give up their dreams of studying because they are unable to finance a move to a big city. Every year, the foundation awards several hundred scholarships to people from smaller towns and low-income families. Since its inception, the Jerzy Juzoń Educational Foundation has awarded over 5,800 scholarships over 14 years.
Jerzy Juzoń is a graduate of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Silesian University of Technology. He managed to finish his studies in the difficult 1950s thanks to a scholarship, so after achieving professional success, he decided to share his fortune. He spoke about his path and life mission on camera; we encourage you to watch the report.
