About the Scholarship Program

Each year the Society awards a number of UTS scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students meeting criteria of academic excellence, participation in school, Ukrainian and general community activities, and financial need. These are funded by donations from the Ukrainian community at large. To date, the Society has distributed over $273,200 in 50 campaigns to 325 deserving students.
