Evening with ASSIST Students in Vilnius
06/26/2017

During the Kazickas Family trip to Vilnius in June, they had an opportunity to meet ASSIST new students who will be embarking on their new adventure at the end of summer. President Valdas Adamkus with his wife Alma Adamkiene, as well as US Ambassador to Lithuania Anne Hall congratulated the students, ASSIST alumni and students' families.


Kiki Kazickas, grandaughter of Dr. Joseph Kazickas and his wife Alexandra, was excited to share few moments:

 

"We had a wonderful turnout for the ASSIST event at the Kazickas Residence in Vilnius on June 9th, 2017, filling the house with vibrant conversation among current ASSIST students, alumni, supportive parents and family, and President Adamkus and wife.

Both Jurate Kazickas and President Adamkus spoke of the work of KFF and encouraged ASSIST students to use their education and experience in the US as a driving force for bettering their homeland. It is imperative that these gifted and intelligent young people bring their talents and ideas back to Lithuania.

 

The excitement among the students was palpable and their giddy laughter and eager voices reverberated throughout the residence. It was clear to all Kazickas Family members in attendance how special these students are. Their pride for Lithuanian was blatantly evident with their "So Lit, you must be from Lithuania" t-shirts that they all sported.

 

The Kazickas Family wishes the best of luck to the students and their families over the next year"!

 

ASSIST is a nonprofit, international educational and cultural exchange organization based in the United States and active in more than twenty countries around the globe. Their core work is to identify, place, and support outstanding international students on one-year scholarships at leading American independent secondary schools.

 

The Kazickas Family Foundation proudly supports this initiative every year and sponsors three students. Three additional students get funded thanks to generosity and hard work of ASSIST Lithuania alumns and their families. US Embassy in Vilnius offers two additional scholarships to students who's families have hard time paying the program fee.
