The day before the start of the process of applying for state grants from applicants, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine announced a radical change in the procedure. The MES plans to significantly simplify the process of obtaining grants, but this requires amendments to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which takes time. Therefore, the grant procedure will not start on September 5.

What is the main change?

Students applying for grants will not be able to submit applications through the electronic cabinet. Now they will not submit any applications at all, but will receive notifications from the state about the grant through the Diia application. After receiving the notification, students must confirm that they really want to receive the grant. The money will also go directly to universities, not to special student accounts, as previously planned.

Be careful – if you do not have the Diia app installed, you cannot apply for a state grant!

📌 Who can apply for a grant?

• Applicants with NMT (EIT) results in two subjects:
  💰 150+ points = first-level grant (from UAH 15,000)
  💰 170+ points = second-level grant (from UAH 25,000)
• Applicants after high school or college
• Applicants for full-time or dual forms of education
• Applicants entering for the first time to obtain a bachelor’s or master’s degree in medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy.
• Applicants enrolled on 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 tuition, but you can only pay for tuition, nothing else.

💡 Features of the program:

• The amount of the grant may increase depending on the specialty.
• Some specialties have only a second-level grant (170+ points).
• The grant is provided for the entire period of study with payments twice a year.
