A scholarship aims to help Ukrainian students continue their studies despite the war — and spread the word about freedom
‘These Events That Are Unfolding Now Will Shape the 21st Century’ Alexander Vindman on Vladimir Putin, the invasion of Ukraine and the dangers aheadhave two goals, Lubetzky said. The first is to support Ukraine during the war. “Ukraine is in the vanguard of the fight for democracy globally, and it is our responsibility as people that cherish democracy and freedom of expression and rule of law try to support those being attacked by totalitarianism,” said Lubetzky, a social entrepreneur.
Ukraine has a strong university system, Goodman said, and the Institute of International Education has been working there for many years and was able to help with the scholarship because of their familiarity with the region. Ostap Stefak, 22, a junior at Harvard University from Lviv, said many of his classmates don’t realize how important those values are to so much of the world. “Ukrainians now are going through the same fight, the same battle for democracy,” that Americans fought more than 200 years ago, he said. “American democracy is still such an ideal for so many people around the world.”
