Who Can Apply:
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has an ongoing impact on students who have a connection to Ukraine, such as those who are refugees or connected to the military.
- All of this turmoil and stress can make it incredibly difficult to enroll in and attend college. When processing violence, economic strife, and other trauma, focusing on school is often the least of one’s concerns. Alleviating some of the financial burdens that students face is a small but important step in making college more accessible and empowering students who have been impacted by the war to continue dreaming.
- In recognition of the enduring effects of the war in Ukraine, this scholarship aims to give students who have been impacted by the conflict the opportunity to pursue higher education.
- Any high school, undergraduate, or graduate student who is the child of Ukrainian refugees, the child of a parent residing in Ukraine or serving in the Ukrainian military, the child of a staff member from Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a student with experience serving in the Ukrainian military, or another applicant who has demonstrated sustained hardship resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Students who have fled Russia or it’s allied states as a result of the war in Ukraine are also encouraged to apply.
Submission: To apply, tell us how you have been impacted by Russia’s war in Ukraine and how achieving your educational goals will allow you to overcome the challenges you or your community are facing.
