The Shevchenko Scientific Society of the United States of America is pleased to announce the names of Ukrainian students who were awarded a special scholarship for the 2018-2019 academic year. The Special Scholarship Program was designed to provide support for outstanding, highly motivated university students who experienced a disruption in their academic life as a result of their loss of a family member during the Euromaidan or the ensuing conflict in eastern Ukraine and their newly-acquired status as Internally Displaced Persons.
Between 2014 and 2018, the Shevchenko Scientific Society raised more than $60,000 through contributions from its members in the United States and other representatives of the Ukrainian American community. Specifically, the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America made a generous contribution of $20,000, enabling the program to expand its roster of scholarship recipients to 35 high-achieving students.
The scholarship recipients were selected from a pool of 73 students, majoring in such diverse disciplines as computer science, economics, history, law, music, and theoretical physics. As a part of their application, students submitted essays, discussing how the scholarship would enable them to turn their dreams into reality. Taken as a whole, these essays reflect the aspirations of young Ukrainians to overcome enormous challenges in their personal and academic lives and make a positive contribution to the development of their home country.
