The organization emphasized that the scholarships aim to support a new generation of Ukrainian leaders, scholars, artists, and professionals across various fields.
The VOVK Foundation Scholarship, established in partnership with the VOVK Foundation supports students of Ukrainian descent studying in fields such as engineering, law, physical and natural sciences, medicine, business, music, and the arts.
