assistance with processing Ukrainian documents;
psychological support;
preferential accommodation in dormitories;
a one-time grant of UAH 50,000 from international partners – the UN and UNICEF.

For students entering higher education institutions in front-line regions, the amount of the state grant is automatically increased by 50%.
