Full tuition waiver + monthly stipend · All nationalities eligible · MBBS, engineering, all programs
The Ukrainian Government offers fully funded scholarships to outstanding international students each academic year. The scholarship covers 100% of tuition fees and provides a monthly living stipend. This is the most prestigious scholarship available for studying in Ukraine and is open to students from all countries.
The scholarship is administered through the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science, with applications processed through individual universities. Competition is strong — approximately 500–800 scholarships are awarded annually across all programs and universities.
💡 Key Detail: The scholarship covers tuition only. Students still need to budget approximately $300–450/month for living expenses. The monthly stipend ($100–150) helps but does not cover all costs.
