The Government has decided to significantly increase state payments for students of vocational pre-university and higher education institutions. The increase will take effect from the beginning of the academic year - 1 September 2026.
Solution details
- Academic and social scholarships will double for all categories of students.
- The government explains that the move is aimed at supporting young people and compensating for the rising costs of living and education.
- Additional funding will be included in the state budget for 2026-2027.
Context.
Ukraine has been reforming student financial support for several years now, and the amount of scholarships has not been revised on a large scale since the start of the full-scale war. The increase should partially equalise the purchasing power of students and encourage enrolment in Ukrainian universities.
