For 100 years, the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) has championed educational initiatives as a core part of its mission.
Since the late 1950s, UNWLA has proudly carried forward its own scholarship fund, investing in the academic and professional success of future generations. All UNWLA programs are rooted in four foundational pillars: Advocate. Educate. Cultivate. Care. These pillars guide our efforts to support Ukraine, assist vulnerable communities, and empower Ukrainian women, because education remains one of the most powerful tools for transformation.
Today, UNWLA continues this legacy through impactful partnerships and dedicated scholarship programs. In collaboration with the Vovk Foundation and through the enduring Eva Staszkiw Scholarship Fund, we offer financial support to students of Ukrainian descent and those promoting Ukrainian arts, sciences, and culture.
The Vovk Foundation Scholarship honors Ivan Vovchuk, a renowned scholar and leader in the Ukrainian community, and his son Andrew, a skilled engineer and technologist. Together with UNWLA, the Foundation has established a permanently endowed scholarship for students of Ukrainian heritage pursuing degrees in technology, engineering, arts, and the humanities. This scholarship is awarded annually. Learn more and apply: https://bit.ly/VovkScholarship
The Eva Staszkiw Scholarship is a UNWLA initiative supporting students engaged in Ukrainian arts and sciences. A devoted soyuzianka, Eva Staszkiw began supporting the UNWLA Scholarship Fund in the late 1950s. Upon her passing, she bequeathed her life savings to further expand access to Ukrainian studies—a final act of love for her homeland. Learn more and apply: https://bit.ly/StaszkiwFund
