To support veterans, children and spouses of Fallen Heroes, AUK offers several full scholarships in both bachelor’s and master’s programs to individuals who meet the admission criteria.

The AUK wartime scholarship is American University Kyiv's contribution to Ukraine's resistance and fight for freedom. This scholarship will be provided to all students admitted during the war.
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.
Understanding the challenges of the war, AUK continues to support its newly admitted students in 2023 with wartime-guaranteed scholarships of up to 50%.
2. AUK merit-based scholarships:
AUK's merit-based scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated academic excellence and have personal honors (Olympiads, contest awards, diplomas with honor, war awards, honors for volunteer contribution in war). Students should possess the qualities of an inspirational role model.
