Children of war veterans who study on a contract basis will be able to receive compensation from the state for the full cost of annual tuition at vocational pre-university and higher education institutions.

This was reported by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, commenting on the government's adoption of a resolution on a pilot project to be implemented jointly with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Education and Science.

The experiment envisages that children of war veterans studying on a contractual basis at professional pre-university or higher education institutions will be paid the full tuition fee for the relevant academic year.

You will be notified of the opportunity to receive state aid through the Diia mobile application. Students will only need to confirm it.

The funds will be credited to a special account of the educational institution. The amounts that have already been paid by the student must be returned by the educational institution.
