This scholarship was created in 2022 in response to the economic and financial fallout Ukraine faced due to the war. In order to provide support at this time, AUK began offering guaranteed scholarships to all successfully admitted students in 2022, which constituted 75% of undergraduate costs for two academic years and 60% of graduate costs during one academic year.
