University of Tartu establishes a scholarship fund to support Ukrainian students

The University of Tartu has established a scholarship fund to collect and channel donations to support the studies of Ukrainian students at the University of Tartu.

Rector of the University of Tartu Toomas Asser said that it is our duty to provide students who have come to study at the University of Tartu from Ukraine with all the support they need to feel safe, both in these extremely difficult times and as they think about their future and studies. "The education of Ukrainian students must continue despite the tragedy and the related economic hardship that has hit their home country and families. Every member, graduate and cooperation partner of the University of Tartu, as well as every education-minded Estonian resident, can contribute to this through the scholarship fund," said Asser.

Companies and individuals are welcome to make their donations on the website of the University of Tartu Foundation. Ukrainian citizens who are bachelor's or master's students of the University of Tartu can apply for the scholarship. The maximum amount of one scholarship is 2,000 euros. The foundation announces the public scholarship competition on its website and the university's information channels on 2 March. The application deadline is 15 March 2022.

146 Ukrainian citizens study or work at the University of Tartu.
