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.”
