Readers of this newspaper and our sister publication, the Ukrainian-language weekly Svoboda – both published by the Ukrainian National Association as a meaningful and consequential service to our community – saw that last week’s issues featured a two-page section on the UNA’s scholarship winners for academic year 2020-2021. We congratulate them all, wish them much success in their studies, and hereby express our hope that they will not only continue to be active in our Ukrainian community but become contributors to our community’s progress in the future.
As pointed out by the chairman of the UNA Scholarship Committee, Eugene Serba, who is the UNA’s second vice-president, “There was a total of 54 applicants from 26 different UNA branches. The number and quality of applicants this year was truly exceptional, with a number of students applying for more than one scholarship for which they were eligible.” Notably, the number of applicants had increased from recent years.
