Scholarships of the Minister of Education and Science for students of the Silesian University of Technology
On May 12th, 2023, in the Senate Hall of the Silesian University of Technology, a meeting of the University authorities was held with students who were honoured with scholarships of the Minister of Education and Science for outstanding scientific, sports or artistic achievements for the academic year 2022/2023. Once again, the Silesian University of Technology is a leader in terms of the number of scholarships awarded by the MEiN (Ministry of Education and Science) for students.
Fifteen students of our University received this year scholarships of the Minister of Education and Science for outstanding achievements, – The subject of research undertaken by the awarded students was extremely wide and at a very high level. These are interdisciplinary projects that fit into the Priority Research Areas of the Silesian University of Technology, ranging from issues in architecture, urban planning, through artificial intelligence, advanced material technologies and chemical engineering - said the Rector of the Silesian University of Technology, Prof. Arkadiusz Mężyk.
For another year in a row, the Silesian University of Technology is a leader in terms of the number of scholarships awarded by the Ministry of Education and Science for students. - We have very talented students, but also an education system that supports their skills, such as PBL, i.e. teaching through the implementation of projects - added prof. Wojciech Szkliniarz, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Education.
Among the awarded students is Wojciech Kiersnowski from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, who in his engineering thesis described the design of an innovative, modular prosthesis for a child, adapting to the changing height of a small patient. - On the basis of this work, I also wrote a few publications, I also participated in scientific conferences. The scholarship I received is a great distinction for me and the culmination of my work - said the student.
The MEiN scholarship was also awarded to Iga Soczawa from the Faculty of Architecture, who was awarded, among others, for participation in various architectural competitions or research work. “I am glad to be appreciated. This is my second scholarship from the Minister of Education and Science. I received the first one last year and it was a summary of my engineering studies. This year's award is the culmination of master's studies - emphasized the student.
The scholarship of the Minister of Education and Science is awarded to students who demonstrate significant scientific or artistic achievements related to their studies or significant sports achievements.
