At Studee we are deeply concerned about the unfolding events in Ukraine, and we want to do all we can to support Ukrainian and international students affected by the conflict. You can read our full response to the crisis here.
The response from higher education institutions around the world has been incredible, and many of our university partners are offering schemes and initiatives to help Ukrainian students.
