Bradley D. Woodworth, Baltic Studies Coordinator at the Yale University, announced with great pride last week that starting 2016-2017 academic year, the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship for citizens of Lithuania will be available every year instead of every other year.
Mr. Woodworth shares in his letter: "The income resulting from Kazickas family's generous grant to Yale has made the growth of this program possible, and I thank you deeply. I expect that from this year on we will be able to have a Kazickas Fellow at Yale every academic year. Having this fellowship every year instead of every other year will further our program at Yale and, I believe, make an additional contribution to scholarship in Lithuania, one that will grow with the experience and knowledge the increasing number of recipients take back with them upon their return home. We are also able to expand to 2016-2017 the Juris Padegs Research Fellowship at Yale for citizens of either Estonia or Latvia.
It means a great deal to me to have the opportunity to be involved in your family's work in furthering the study of the Baltic region".
