Kyiv School of Economics to support war veterans, their families and displaced persons with 700 education grants

The Kyiv School of Economics Charitable Foundation offers a grant program to support war veterans and their children, as well as children of IDPs, in obtaining higher education.

KSE Foundation Director Svitlana Denysenko made the relevant statement during a briefing at the Military Media Center of Ukraine's defense ministry.

What is the problem?

Veterans, their children, and children of internally displaced persons find it difficult to adapt to the new environment and return to a peaceful life.

Parents of thousands of children gave their lives for us and our country. We must do everything in our power to become a reliable support for them. They are the future of Ukraine, and we will support them in building it, Denysenko said.

What is the solution?

This year, 700 applicants will receive scholarships to study at KSE. Financial aid has already been awarded to 150 servicemen, their children, and internally displaced persons.

We offer grants for education and a community that will be supportive and understanding, one that will give new meaning to moving forward, said the KSE director.

How does it work?

Applications are accepted until July 31.

We offer grants to every veteran who wants to continue defending Ukraine in the economic sphere. To get the best education in Ukraine and build a new economy in civilian life.

This can be either learning a new profession or professional growth in master's programs, said Denysenko.

The grant program provides financial assistance for studying at KSE and covers a wide range of specialties – from law and psychology to applied mathematics and artificial intelligence.

In total, nine bachelor's and six master's degree programs are available for applicants.

The Kyiv School of Economics grant program is part of a comprehensive support program for veterans returning to civilian life.

The grant fully covers the cost of higher education for all academic years and also covers 50% of the cost of living in a coliving.

Students who receive scholarships will have the opportunity to participate in exchange programs with the world's best universities and receive dual degrees from the University of Houston and the University of Toronto.

In addition to granting higher education for military children and reintegration and return to civilian life through education, the briefing also covered the issue of professional development and vocational training for military personnel returning home.
