To receive the scholarship, such students must submit to the educational institution an extract from the Unified State Register of Persons regarding the fact of deprivation of personal freedom due to armed aggression against Ukraine. In case of application by the child of such a person, a copy of a document confirming the family relationship is also provided — a birth certificate, a court decision recognizing paternity, etc.

To continuously receive the scholarship, a student must successfully pass all sessions and assessments. The amount of the social scholarship per month is as follows:

  • 450 hryvnias for students of vocational schools;
  • 890 hryvnias for students of vocational higher education institutions pursuing the educational qualification level of "junior specialist," the educational-professional degree of "professional junior bachelor," or the educational degree of "bachelor";
  • 1180 hryvnias for students of higher education institutions, research institutions pursuing the educational or educational-professional degree of "junior bachelor," educational degrees of "bachelor," "specialist," or "master."
