The Bakala Foundation laid a solid foundation for my dream of studying at a university abroad. Already in the admission procedure to the best educational institutions, I was able to rely on the financial and advisory support of a strong partner. After I was accepted into the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business at the University of Pennsylvania, I was able to concentrate fully on academic activity and activity in school and local organizations, without worrying about funding my studies, thanks to a scholarship from the Bakala Foundation. During my four-year stay at UPenn, I completed three bachelor's studies: finance, international relations and German studies. After graduating from UPenn, I began my career in a private equity firm in Boston, USA, and then studied MBA at Harvard Business School. I live and work in Boston ten years after my trip to UPenn - in the field which originally brought me to study in the USA.
