International support for our university’s students continues. Within the framework of the 34th Economic Forum in Karpacz, the Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University concluded a new agreement with the Institute of Oriental Studies Foundation (Republic of Poland).
The document was signed by the acting rector of the university, Ihor Tsependa, and the chairman of the program council of the Foundation, Zygmund Berdychovsky.
The signed agreement establishes new additional formats of support for talented university students.
It is especially symbolic that students have already felt the first results of these agreements: on Knowledge Day, 14 freshmen with the highest competitive scores received certificates for educational bonuses of 500 USD in hryvnia equivalent.
These bonuses are not a loan or a traditional scholarship, but recognition of the potential of Ukrainian youth who choose to study in Ukraine, as well as an important signal of trust and support for our students by international partners.
Acting Rector Ihor Tsependa thanked Mr. Zygmund Berdychovsky and the Institute of Oriental Studies Foundation for this initiative: “This is a very important continuation and deepening of our partnership. We feel real support and faith in Ukrainian students.”
We would like to remind you that the cooperation between Carpathian University and the Foundation has been going on for over six years.
According to a bilateral agreement concluded in 2018, students of Carpathian University — the only one among Ukrainian HEIs — receive scholarships of $1,000 (in hryvnia equivalent) annually.
