Supporting Ukrainian Students Impacted by War
Overview
The Ukraine Math and Science Achievement Fund was born of a desire to ensure that a generation of the world’s most gifted minds wouldn’t fall victim to the uncertainties of war.
We provide scholarships and other support to help these students achieve their academic ambitions and maximize their potential. Though the war interrupted their studies, it hasn’t diminished their ambition.
With the generous support of Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin, we are working to ensure that these students have the opportunity to continue their education and leave their mark on the world.
