Since 2010, the WorldWideStudies (WWS) scholarship program has empowered the best and brightest Ukrainian students to receive world class education and use it to transform Ukraine.
WWS has been the first private Ukrainian program systematically providing access to the world's best universities for young Ukrainians regardless of their financial background.
Since 2010, 94 young Ukrainians have been granted a WorldWideStudies scholarship.
The program allows Ukrainians to study abroad for a Master’s degree at one of the world’s 200 best universities.
After receiving their degree, WWS scholars are expected to work for a minimum of 5 years in Ukraine in their chosen fields.
Scholarships are awarded in six fields crucial for the development of Ukraine: public law; public administration, agriculture; environment and ecology; alternative energy; engineering and technology .
The amount is determined individually on the basis of need and merit. Grants cover up to 60% of the total amount required.
Participants are selected by an independent selection panel on the basis of an open and nationwide competition. Candidates choose a university and apply independently, and become eligible for a scholarship if they are accepted.
Victor Pinchuk announced the start of WWS at the Clinton Global Initiative’s 2008 Annual Meeting.
