Why become a donor?
There are three key reasons that define the motivations of our donors:
- By contributing to Ampersand, a donor is changing the life path of a specific talented person, while knowing exactly how resources were allocated and to what extent they made an impact. Not only will donors have an opportunity to take part in the selection procedures (should they have time and willingness), but they will also be able to watch as their efforts accelerate a student’s progress along a career path and personal transformation.
- The impact donors are making will affect not only the recipient of the scholarship but also all the subsequent changes this person will bring to his or her environment in the following decades. A donor is creating a lasting legacy which will have the potential to affect the professional lives of hundreds of people in Ukraine.
- By becoming a donor in the Ampersand community, one is supporting the best universities in Ukraine and stimulating growth and competition among students, which leads to overall improvement in both quality of education and the competence of graduates.
Founders of Ampersand do not compromise on the quality of education and applicants. We deal with Ukrainian universities of exceptional reputation and high academic and ethical standards, and select the study programmes in a very pragmatic manner. We are applying the best practices from our professional experience to the Ukrainian system of higher education and utilizing the best out of both.
