Chair of Ukrainian Studies Foundation is another sponsoring organization established by Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada in order to help progressive Ukrainian Youth learn about the ways democracy is operated. In 1991, on the occasion of the centennial of Ukrainian group immigration to Canada, the Foundation established the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program for university students from Ukraine. The Mazurenko brothers, Ivan, Vasyl, Danylo, contributed the initial endowment of $350,000. University students from Ukraine chosen on the basis of academic achievement, proficiency in English or French and Ukrainian languages apply for scholarships to study at the University of Ottawa and the House of Commons. The program allows the students to study the Canadian parliamentary
system of government. It is hoped that this program will contribute to the education of future leaders of Ukraine.

The Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program (Alternative Word format application form) gives Ukrainian students an opportunity to work and study in the Canadian Parliament, and gain experience from which generations of Canadian, American and West European students have benefited. On the basis of academic excellence, knowledge of the English or French and Ukrainian languages, and an interest in the parliamentary system of government, undergraduate university students from Ukraine can apply for a CUPP scholarship. It is hoped that CUPP will contribute to the education of future leaders of Ukraine. CUPP is a Parliamentary Democracy and Comparative Political Studies Internship Semester in the Canadian House of Commons. The Internship Semester lasts three months and takes place in the spring of each year in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The Fulbright Program, recognized as the U.S. government’s flagship program in international educational exchange, was proposed to the U.S. Congress in 1945 by then freshman Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Senator Fulbright viewed the proposed program as a much-needed vehicle for promoting “mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries of the world.” The program would provide grantees and their hosts the opportunity to better comprehend the institutions, cultures and societies of other parts of the world. J. William Fulbright’s vision was approved by Congress and the program signed into law by President Truman in 1946. Here some of the Programs that they offer:

Study in the United States. Fulbright Scholarship.

Teach abroad! Application form to teach in the U.S. Higher Institution. Only for the candidates with a Doctorate Degree.
