PROF. W. BOLUBASH INITIATIVE BURSARY FUND

These annual scholarships were made possible through the generous donations of countless UCEF donors in response to Prof. Wolodymy Bolubash’s call to establish a scholarship fund for the students of the Ukrainian Catholic University, as well as donations made in memory of Prof. Wolodymyr Bolubash.
