Czech Talent Goes International

They are enrolled at the world’s most prestigious universities: Oxford, Yale, Cambridge, etc. But these young Czechs cannot rely on any major financial help from their families. What has helped them is their extraordinary talent, a clear-cut vision of their future, and appetite to help the needy. The Kellner Family Foundation takes care of the practical part of student life to a large extent, i.e. the funds needed for learning and living in a foreign country. KFF has already dispatched more than 120 promising young people abroad who had felt a desire to acquire diplomas from the best schools in medical, economic, art and other sciences and fields.
