State funds studies of more than 1,000 Ukrainians this year

The state has funded studies of more than 1,000 Ukrainians who arrived in Lithuania after fleeing the war in their country, says the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport. The state support for Ukrainian students in Lithuania’s state higher education institutions totalled EUR 4.6 million.

The government covers 60% of the annual tuition fee, the rest is paid by higher education institutions themselves.

The Ukrainians studying in Lithuania are also entitled to a monthly EUR 300 scholarship to cover their basic subsistence needs and buy the tools they need to study.

Most of the Ukrainians currently study at Vilnius University, Vytautas Magnus University, VILNIUS TECH, Kaunas University of Technology and Vilnius University of Applied Sciences.

The most popular majors among these students are international business, information systems and cybersecurity, global marketing, software systems, accounting and finance.
