The average cost of attending a public university in the U.S., for example, is over $20,000 per year (and more than $40,000 at private schools). Fortunately, there are some universities that give out full scholarships and financial aid—so you won’t have to worry about high tuition or student loans. Here are five top universities in Poland that offer free scholarships.
