Overview

Ukraine has produced Olympic champions in boxing, gymnastics, athletics, weightlifting and wrestling. Universities that develop this talent offer athletic scholarships — tuition reductions or full waivers — to exceptional student-athletes.

Athletic scholarships at Ukrainian universities are typically arranged through the university sports department rather than the admissions office. Contact is direct: send your athletic credentials, achievements and a video to the sports department of your target university.

Unlike many countries, Ukrainian university athletic scholarships are not widely advertised. They are negotiated individually. We have helped several student-athletes secure athletic funding — contact us with your sport and achievement level.
