Scholarship applications are available in March of each year with selections taking place in June. Application forms are mailed to all Senior Secondary Schools in Richmond and online on our website (link will be added in the spring of each year – please check back).
Youth Scholarship Application for 2025 – Applications are now closed; selections will be announced in June.
Our Society is pleased to offer two types of scholarship opportunities for students between the ages of 16 and 20 years of age. Students are invited to apply for either our Post Secondary Scholarship or our Cultural Scholarship. Please click on the link below for more information about the application process:
TYPE I. Post Secondary Scholarship. For post-secondary study at an approved college or university to a maximum of $750.00.
TYPE II. Cultural Scholarship. For the study of Ukrainian culture and/or language in an approved program to a maximum of $500.00.
We invite you to review the application package and give it to a family member that you feel could be a worthy candidate. A letter of reference is required from a school representative which could be a teacher, counsellor or administrator. The application form for Type I or Type II must also be completed by the candidate.
