Ontario-Ukraine Solidarity Scholarship

On February 24, 2022, the Russian military invaded Ukraine, resulting in a record outflow of refugees and a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis. In recognizing the Ukrainian people’s resolve in this war, Ontario will provide funds to institutions to offer a scholarship to students.

The value of each scholarship is $10,000. Each institution will receive four (4) scholarships to award per academic year. The scholarships are to be awarded to domestic or international, full-time or part-time students based on demonstrated financial need and academic merit. Applicants impacted by the Ukrainian conflict will be prioritized first, followed by students impacted by other conflicts.
