Support for Ukrainian students

The Ukrainian students of the University of Tartu who fulfill the following criteria and need financial support to continue their studies successfully can now apply for financial support from the University of Tartu.

/updated 11.09.2024/

• Application deadline: 02.10.2024.
• Who are eligible: students of I and II-level study programs who do not hold temporary protection and thus cannot apply for a need-based allowance from the Ministry of Education and Research. This is primarily a) the students enrolled at UT before the academic year 2022/2023 or b) the students enrolled in the academic year 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 but who left Ukraine before 24.02.2022 and therefore do not qualify for the ministry’s need-based allowance or c) the students studying with part-time workload or who have not graduated on time.
  The students enrolled in the years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024, who had the opportunity to apply for temporary protection (thus would have the right to apply for the need-based allowance from the Ministry of Education and Research), yet decided to apply for the temporary residence permit (TRP) for studies or who are staying in Estonia without applying for the right of stay, can apply for this support.
• Application form: the form to be submitted is HERE. In addition to the application, some applicants must submit a document proving their right to apply for the given allowance. What document needs to be submitted and where to submit is given in the application form. Please read the application form carefully!
• Who are not eligible: the students who hold temporary protection and who are on academic leave.
• Financial support amount and payments: the amount to be paid depends on the number of applications and may differ. The maximum amount to be paid for one month is 300 euros. The decisions will be made by October 10 unless additional documents are needed and the processing takes time. In the autumn semester, payments will be monthly from September 2024 until January 2025. The payment for September and October (two months) will be made by October 25. The announcement about not granting the allowance will be sent to the applicant by the end of October.
