Have you already applied for admission, but think you won’t be able to get in on a state-funded program? The state has introduced study grants specifically for applicants with high scores in two NMT subjects (over 150 or over 170) who do not qualify for state-funded places and plan to enrol on a contract basis. This is financial assistance that can be received throughout your bachelor’s degree and does not need to be repaid. We have collected everything you need to know about government grants in one article!

📌 Who is eligible for a grant?

• Applicants with NMT (external independent testing) results in two subjects:
  💰 150+ points = first-level grant (from UAH 15,000)
  💰 170+ points = second-level grant (from UAH 25,000)
• Applicants after school or college
• Entrants to full-time or dual forms of education
• First-time applicants for a bachelor’s or master’s degree in medicine, veterinary medicine, or pharmacy.
• Applicants enrolled under a contract at the university of their choice.

💡 What exactly does the grant cover and how?

A grant is a financial aid that does not need to be repaid. The state provides money to talented applicants to pay for their education, but you can only pay for tuition fees, nothing else.

💡 What if the cost of the contract is higher than the grant?

The grant covers a part of it (as far as the amount is sufficient), and the other part is covered by the applicant or his or her parents or guardians.

🔍 What if the grant is higher than the contract price?

You will be allocated exactly the amount that covers the cost of the contract. The grant is provided for the entire period of study and is allocated twice a year – until 1 December and until 1 April.
