Emergency Stipends for House of Europe partners

Sector: Other
Type: Scholarship
Location: Ukraine
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: House of Europe

Russia’s war against Ukraine is a sanguineous crime. In these dark times, we have prepared stipends to lend a hand to people and organisations that have proven their stamina to change Ukrainian society. Our experts, speakers, mentors, and partners can get EUR 1,000 on the things which will provide additional safety to you and enable you to keep working to support yourself and your dearest and nearest. 

Feel free to spend the funding on essentials like food, health, hygiene, accommodation, fuel etc. Renting a workspace, paying salaries to your employees, or completing a course to adapt your activities to war reality are also the options. If you are forced to move to another region, we can help with the relocation costs.

Stay safe and apply!
