USA/USA Program Overview

USA/USA Program (Ukrainian Students Association in USA) is a nonprofit organization helping talented Ukrainian students to apply for scholarships at world-class universities and preparatory schools. The program aims to create a Ukrainian presence on the global academic, scientific, financial and political stage as well as to develop a multidisciplinary brain trust for Ukraine.

Since 1992, fifty four of our highly selected students have earned and are using full four year college scholarships, including room and board, totaling in over nine million dollars. This represents an investment into a future Ukrainian brain trust by such universities as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Brown, Dartmouth and many others.

Some of our alumni hold leadership or professional positions at McKinsey, Deloitte, JP Morgan and Suntrust, others are college professors at Brown, Dartmouth, and Tbilisi State University, or post-doctoral students at Stanford and Harvard. Others have returned to Ukraine and work at the United Nations Development Program in Kyiv, for international consulting companies, banks or for local institutions.  Many of our alumni have continued their education in Europe and Asia including University College London, the University of Helsinki, the Indian School of Business, and the London School of Economics.  One alumna is currently working for the “Teach for China” program in Beijing. Read more about USA/USA Program

Annual Seminar – Apply Now!

USA/USA Program holds and annual seminar in August, where 10 to 20 selected students receive information and training to make their applications for scholarships more compelling and potentially successful. Learn about the process and apply now.

Disclamer: USA/USA Program itself does not give out scholarships, nor does it sell any services. The Program does, however, completely sponsor selection and application processes as well as the seminar in August (including 2-week housing and food). Selected students only need to pay for transportation to the seminar venue (usually Crimea).

Also, only students applying to colleges and preparatory schools are eligible to participate – we do not provide assistance for students applying to graduate or professional schools. As a rule, however, after completion of college our students have no trouble getting into the best graduate schools.
