Government Extends Tuition Reimbursement for Veterans’ Children Through the 2026–2027 Academic Year

Extension of Tuition Reimbursement Program for Veterans’ Children

According to Рубрика — Суспільство: The Ukrainian government has announced the continuation of full tuition reimbursement for children of veterans during the 2026/2027 academic year. This initiative aims to support families of those who have served in the armed forces by providing access to quality education at professional pre-higher and higher education institutions.

Eligibility and Application Process

The reimbursement is available exclusively to students who are children of veterans. To benefit from this program, applicants must submit the required documentation to their educational institution. A key step involves confirming a certificate generated through the Diia app within 20 calendar days. The Ministry for Veterans handles payments directly to the schools, simplifying the funding process.

• Only children of veterans qualify for tuition reimbursement.
• Applicants must provide necessary documents to their institution.
• The Diia app certificate requires confirmation within 20 days.
• Funds are transferred by the Ministry for Veterans directly to educational establishments.

If a student has already paid tuition or part of it, the educational institution is responsible for refunding those expenses.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky emphasized, 'Despite challenging financial conditions, supporting veterans and their families remains a top priority for the government.'

This highlights the program’s significance in assisting families connected to military service.

Renewing this tuition reimbursement program represents an important commitment to social support for veterans’ families. Beyond alleviating financial burdens tied to education, it underscores the state’s dedication to those who defended Ukraine’s sovereignty. Amid ongoing conflict and economic difficulties, such assistance can be crucial for the younger generation linked to the military community. Moreover, this program reflects the government’s broader efforts to enhance social welfare for veterans and their families, promoting their well-being and integration into society.

In addition to the tuition reimbursement initiative, the government is also launching a free program for veterans to develop leadership skills. This program aims to empower veterans and enhance their prospects in the workforce, further demonstrating the government's commitment to supporting those who have served in the military.
