VOVK FOUNDATION AND THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL WOMEN’S LEAGUE OF AMERICA (UNWLA) ANNOUNCE NEW STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) is pleased to announce the availability of a new scholarship for students studying in the United States, offered in partnership with the Vovk Foundation.

The Vovk Foundation’s vision and initiatives is to provide opportunities for students, entrepreneurs, and engineers/scientists to advance their work and studies in the face of the unjustified and savage invasion of Ukraine by the nation of russian terrorists. “We are thrilled to partner with such a storied and successful organization as the UNWLA to administer a scholarship program for students of Ukrainian heritage,” states Dr. Zenovy S. Wowczuk, Vovk Foundation President. “It is our intention to work in concert with UNWLA to establish a permanent endowment that will allow for not only multiple scholarship awards, but also highlight the involvement and engagement of students in their heritage and culture.” The Vovk Foundation honors the memory of two patriarchs: Ivan Vovchuk, noted scholar, writer and leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and his son Andrew, an accomplished engineer and technologist.

The 2023 Vovk/UNWLA Scholarship award will be granted to persons of Ukrainian descent, including Ukrainian Americans, who have completed their freshman year at an accredited university. They will be full-time students, and will maintain a GPA of no less than 3.5. This $4000 grant will be available to undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students in the following fields: a) engineering, b) physical and natural sciences, c) medicine, d) law, e) business, and f) music/creative arts. The deadline for applications is June 1 2023. Interested applicants should see detailed application information at: UNWLA – Ukrainian National Womens League of America | Education.
