Ukrainian Catholic Education Foundation dba Ukrainian Catholic University Foundation (UCU Foundation) was founded in 1997 to support and fund the growth and operations of Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in Lviv, Ukraine.

Ukrainian Catholic University Foundation is proud to announce a transformative gift of $330,000 from Michael and Nancy Bohdan to support student scholarships at Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in Lviv.

This generous donation will fund 75 scholarships and strengthen UCU’s Physical Rehabilitation Program, empowering students who have chosen to stay in Ukraine and rebuild their country. Michael and Nancy’s generosity ensures talented, driven students have access to a world-class education at home, preparing them to lead and serve.

Inspired by their visit to UCU, the Bohdans see this gift as a way of giving back and investing in hope. It is a powerful affirmation of the resilience, promise, and future of Ukraine’s youth.

This Christmas season, we’re seeing incredible resilience at UCU—especially from veterans like Illya Pylypenko.

After losing his leg below the knee and suffering severe burns in combat, Illya found healing through sport and a renewed purpose in education. Today, he’s a master’s student at UCU, with dreams to create a nonprofit that will help other veterans find strength and community through sports.

UCU’s growing programs for veterans—including scholarships, medical and legal support, and rehabilitation—make stories like his possible.

Your generosity allows UCU to remain a place of hope and progress, even in the face of winter hardship and uncertainty. Please make your year-end gift today to empower more veterans and students shaping Ukraine’s future: https://ow.ly/4sbG50XIy1g
