What is a state study grant?

A state grant is an opportunity for applicants who will receive their first higher education under a contract to receive UAH 15 thousand or more per year to cover part of the tuition for any bachelor’s program (or medical training program).

In general, the amount of the grant is determined individually for each applicant, based on the results of the NMT and the specialty coefficient.

For applicants with an NMT score of 150 points or more in any 2 subjects, there is an opportunity to receive a grant of UAH 15 thousand.

The 2nd level grant stipulates that applicants with a NMT score of 170 points or more in any 2 subjects will be eligible for a grant of 25 thousand UAH.

Important – the amount of the grant may be higher (i.e. multiplied by the appropriate coefficient), which will depend on the chosen specialty.
