Support measures for students from Ukraine

EKA’s community decided to support Ukrainian students on February 22. On February 25 we opened up free mover seats to students in Ukraine and quickly got private donors to help us pay for the accommodation. On March 1 we also decided to open a trust fund to help our Ukrainian students pay for everyday costs.  As a result of the first application period 19 students from Ukraine continued their studies in spring term 2022  in EKA’s four faculties of Fine Arts, Design, Architecture, and Art Culture.  With the help of private donors EKA has been able to guarantee 
  • Free accommodation till the end of August 2022
  • Free meals in our student cafeteria till the end of May 2022
  • Initial one-time study grant 
  • Free study spot
  • Need based assistance with basic necessities and additional food. 
As a result of successful advocacy in several networks EKA was able to provide for our Ukrainian free mover students regular scholarship for the period May – August 2022 from the resources of Nordplus Network.  In addition we have offered for these 19 students to continue as Erasmus+ exchange students (guaranteeing Erasmus scholarship) in the academic year 2022/2023. We also open intensive Estonian language courses for students since next academic year.
