Saulius Valentinavičius, a scholarship holder of the BAFF Professional Internship Program, admits: "Thanks to the BAFF Professional Internship Program, I started and will continue my career in the large global company AON Corporation." I was happy to join an international team, work on global projects and achieve greater achievements in the professional field. The years spent in the United States of America helped me to understand how business is organized in large companies and that it is possible to achieve anything in order to achieve high goals! "

The most important candidate selection criteria are the candidate's motivation and clear vision of the future, compliance with the foundation's mission, academic and professional achievements, as well as English language skills. All participants of the programs of the Baltic-American Freedom Fund must return to their homeland for at least two years after the program ends, so that they can contribute to the development of Lithuania's social, political and business environment with their acquired knowledge, skills and experience.
