SET University received a grant from WNISEF

The SET University has already received part of the grant funds. They covered 100% of the tuition costs for master’s students for four students, and 70% for two more. Among the scholarship recipients are representatives of the Ukrainian army, children of veterans, internally displaced persons, and students with special achievements. Also, as part of the grant, another 21 students will receive a scholarship to partially cover the tuition costs for micro-masters programs. 

“We at SET University believe that the quality of our education today shapes our tomorrow. This is particularly crucial for Ukraine now, as we strive for a successful technological future. We believe that the tech sector will play a vital role in Ukraine’s economic recovery. That’s why we’re thrilled to have WNISEF’s support on our journey. Together, we’ll create more high-quality educational programs and learning opportunities. We’re grateful to the WNISEF team and already see the positive results of our collaboration in the feedback and achievements of scholarship recipients,” said Iryna Volnytska, President of SET University

“At WNISEF, our focus is on advancing educational projects and nurturing the next generation of tech leaders. Supporting SET University is one of the ways we aim to drive transformation in Ukraine through education. This partnership paves the way for new horizons in quality education and fosters innovation in the technology sphere, a key player in the country’s progress,” Yaroslava Johnson, President and CEO of WNISEF, remarked

Students who have received grants for their studies are impressed by SET University’s innovative approach to learning and are already applying their newfound knowledge to advance their careers. One scholarship recipient, whose name we can’t disclose for security reasons, shared their experience: “The scholarship has opened up new opportunities for me—not only to gain a new specialization but also to experience studying at a modern university with innovative approaches and highly experienced teachers who have practical experience. It has given me a fresh perspective on higher education from the viewpoint of a potential entrepreneur.”

Additionally, as part of the grant agreement, there are plans to develop a course on innovation for master’s students and to implement a bootcamp on space tech. Dates and details regarding the bootcamp will be announced later.
