Jiyu Gakuen (Tokyo) Scholarships for Ukrainian students distributed!
Pomeranian Univeristy in Słupsk has distributed 59 scholarships to Ukrainian students currently realising semester exchange programmes. The “Pomeranian University for Ukraine” Scholarship Programme was launched in December 2022 and is an important element of our Support for Ukraine campaign.
The first edition of the Scholarship Programme received funding from the Association of Alumni and Employees of Pomeranian University in Słupsk. The Association had been collecting financial funds in the form of donations, including ones from our national and international partners as well as from the guests that took part in our Charity Event back in June 2022 during the University Anniversary Gala.
The Committee assigned to distribute the scholarships decided to spend the entire amount transferred from our international partner - Jiyu Gakuen in Tokyo - on scholarships for Ukrainian students of semester exchange. Such students do not receive any other financial support from the University. Accordingly, all 59 applicants received a dedicated “Jiyu Gakuen Scholarship”. The total amount assigned in the scholarships topped 1,048,100 JPY (Japanese yen). Other scholarships and grants will be distributed in the forthcoming editions of the Scholarship Programme.
On behalf of the students receiving the Scholarship, as well as on behalf of the entire academic community of Pomeranian University in Słupsk, we would like to thank all our donors, and in particular Jiyu Gakuen from Tokio, for their relentless support of our Ukrainian students and scholars.
