НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Вересень-Жовтень 2023 13 Two UNWLA Scholarship Programs for Students in the U.S. The UNWLA hopes to attract new star scholars for its two annual scholarship programs to be offered again in March 2024: the Vovk/UNWLA Scholarship in partner - ship with the Vovk Foundation, and the Eva Staszkiw Memorial Scholarship. “I am both excited and very confident that these scholarship programs will attract the same high- level caliber of applicants that applied last year,” says UNWLA President Natalie Pawlenko. “Although the 2024 scholarships are still several months away, this gives our young Ukrainian Ameri - can scholars great lead time to plan their future and to consider how they can contribute to the Ukrainian diaspora in America as future leaders.” The Vovk/UNWLA Scholarship award is granted to persons of Ukrainian descent, including Ukrainian- Americans, who have completed their freshman year at an accredited U.S. university as full-time students and maintain a very high academic standing. Maria Kulchyckyj was the recipient of the inaugural $4,000 scholarship in 2023. She is currently pursuing a Mas - ter’s degree in public policy at Harvard University with a focus on democratic reform in Ukraine. Ms. Kulchyckyj was also one of two exceptional women selected as recipients of the 2023 UNWLA Eva Staszkiw Memorial Scholarship. Andriyana Baran, the other recipient, is from Ukraine and is currently a Andriyana Baran Maria Kulchyckyj graduate student at the University of Kansas in lan - guage acquisition and culture studies. Both stu - dents were awarded $3,000 to offset the cost of their selected programs. The UNWLA Eva Staszkiw Memorial Scholarship is funded by an endowment left by the late Eva Staszkiw, a devoted Soyuzianka who had arrived in the United States in 1910. The goal of the endow - ment is to further and expand support for Ukraini - an studies in the United States. “The UNWLA has been committed to providing fi - nancial support to students around the world for the past 60 years,” says Natalie Pawlenko. “Small scholarship awards to students studying in the U.S. may seem inconsequential, but they play an impor - tant role in several ways.” According to Natalie, even a small bursary can alle - viate the financial strain of tuition, textbooks, and living expenses, making higher education more ac - cessible. It helps minimize the need for loans, thus reducing the burden of student debt after gradu - ation. It also helps motivate students to persist in their studies and complete their degrees. “The UNWLA wants students in Ukrainian stud - ies to understand that we are committed to their success,” says Natalie. “We encourage our branch - es and members to contribute financially to the Staszkiw and Vovk scholarship awards so that, with each year, we can offer more and more schol - arships to worthy students.”
