Canada-Ukraine Foundation will support students from Ukraine
All those admitted to universities in Canada will receive financial aid.
After February 24, 2022, the Canadian government decided to create a special program for Ukrainians. It was called CUAET, Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel measures.
Minister of Immigration Sean Fraser gives updates every two or three months that provide new opportunities for Ukrainians. Recently, during a meeting of immigration lawyers, he said that his ministry is working to create a residency program based on a family reunification plan.
Many students who come to study in Canada from Ukraine and arrive across the ocean after February 24, under CUAET need help and support, especially financial support. This is why the Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF) has partnered with the Shevchenko Foundation (TSF). They have announced a new bursary for Ukrainian students who have gone to Canada for education.
The initial funds, CAD 300,000, will be distributed among 60 students, each receiving CAD 5,000. These funds will help the students with some of their needs.
“We’re pleased that CUF has chosen TSF as a trusted partner with which to establish this invaluable bursary,” stated Boris Balan, Shevchenko Foundation President. “We have introduced a series of special grants to assist the Ukrainian community in welcoming and supporting newcomers to Canada since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This bursary will support a critical need among Ukrainian students who must now realize their educational aspirations in a new country.”
“The Shevchenko Foundation has demonstrated leadership in scholarships and bursaries for students for decades – they’re an ideal partner to make this happen and do it right,” said Orest Sklierenko, President and CEO of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. “We are constantly evolving our humanitarian work to support Ukrainians suffering and displaced by Russia’s barbaric war. This is just the latest initiative, and we look forward to more innovative ways to help Ukrainians in their time of need.”
The Foundation's Website contains all the information you needs to get the support. It also lists the amount, CAD 5,000, and says that bursaries will be awarded until funds run out. There are also many other scholarships and bursaries on the Foundation's website for which there is still time to apply.
