Who Can Apply:
- Immigrating to a new country can open up many opportunities but also comes with challenges and obstacles.
- While the already-challenging world of higher education can be even more difficult for international students to navigate, foreign-born individuals make up a critical portion of the US student body. In 2018, 17% of college-educated Americans over the age of 25 were born in another country.
- The Ilya Flantsbaum Memorial Scholarship seeks to support graduate students of Jewish ancestry from Eastern Europe. Any Jewish student who was born in another country may apply for this scholarship, but Eastern European, and specifically Ukrainian, ancestry is preferred. Jewish students born in the U.S. but who have ancestry in Eastern Europe, and specifically Ukraine, may also be considered.
