As Ukrainians Flee, This ‘University Moves With Them’ - Sara Weissman, Inside Higher Ed

Kateryna Glubochenko has since fled Ukraine and joined relatives in Spain—the journey took five days, with stops in Moldova and Romania—while her husband, parents and friends remain in Ukraine. She received a scholarship from University of the People to complete her studies amid the upheaval. The university will be awarding 1,000 more scholarships to Ukrainian students to attend the institution this spring in response to a request from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO. After a meeting with officials from the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, the university also agreed to open up all its courses to Ukrainian students whose universities have been closed or disrupted by the war so they can continue their studies.
