American University Kyiv (AUK) and the Institute of International Education (IIE) have partnered to launch the “Build Solid Futures” Scholarship Program, providing increased access to higher education for Ukrainian students.
AUK students benefit from Build Solid Futures, a program offering scholarships based on merit, need and wartime service that supports Ukraine’s youth, their resistance and commitment to liberty.
In response to the war, AUK launched wartime scholarships covering up to 75% of expenses for all admitted students. The Build Solid Futures program will also award merit-based scholarships to those who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership qualities.
AUK need-based scholarships includes two fully-funded ones for “Wounded Warriors” and “Children of Fallen Heroes.” Recipients receive a four-year bachelor’s scholarship worth $32,000 to cover their tuition.
Hundreds of young Ukrainians are given the opportunity to pursue their studies with a scholarship from the IIE, allowing them to address the war’s challenges and create a better future for the country. “This scholarship and AUK academic experience will provide the education and training necessary,” said Jonah Kokodyniak, Senior Vice President of the IIE.
With the help of Arizona State University, AUK provides Ukrainian students the chance to earn an American degree without leaving home, giving young Ukrainians the ability to grow professionally and foster progress in their homeland.
The Build Solid Futures Scholarship Program seeks to unite organizations and individuals in the US and abroad to ensure the success of Ukrainian students. IIE supports thousands of educational institutions worldwide as well as 29,000 students, scholars, and professionals.
AUK seeks to educate future leaders, tackle social issues through research and collaboration and spur changes in Ukraine’s educational system. Through preparing professional leaders to rebuild Ukraine into a regional leader, we strive to champion democracy and a free world, the group noted.
Dan Rice, president of AUK, expressed pride that the IIE has partnered with them in their mission to cultivate future leaders in Ukraine. “In the midst of ongoing war,” he said, “we are committed to supporting Ukrainians with talent; for this reason, we invite other partners to join us in carrying this honorable responsibility.”
