UCARE Scholarship Program

Investing in Ukraine's Future

Orphaned and abandoned children are allowed to live in Ukrainian orphanages from birth until they reach the age of 18. These children often go to school right at their orphanages, receiving a sub-standard education and experiencing little or nothing of the outside world. At age 18 the children “age out.” In other words, they must leave the orphanage regardless if they have the ability to live independently in the outside world. In many cases, this means a child must leave the only world he or she has ever known, without a home, a family, money or an adequate education.

Although the Ukrainian government will pay for the tuition cost of additional schooling, the government does not pay for basic living and educational expenses. These promising young adults lack the financial support needed to get into or stay in school. For many gifted and talented orphans, this means their dreams of a college education, meaningful work and the ability to support themselves remain only that − dreams. For a fortunate few, however, UCARE provides a lifeline to help orphans enter college, giving them the opportunity to succeed in college and in life.

The mission of the UCARE, Inc. (Ukrainian Children’s Aid and Relief Effort) is to assist children living in Ukrainian orphanages. Through its scholarship program, UCARE supports orphans who go on to college or trade school, by paying for many of their daily living and school expenses. For example, UCARE pays for books and school supplies, medical assistance, clothing and shoes, as well as room and board.
