Vilnius University (VU), together with the Vilnius University Foundation, has started a fundraising campaign to give access to studies for a larger number of Belarusian citizens<\/strong> to study and is ready<\/strong> to accept scientists persecuted by the regime<\/strong>. The campaign is launched in response to the intensifying Belarusian authorities\u2019 repression against the country\u2019s academic community, with large numbers of students, teachers and researchers being massively expelled from universities for their civic or political activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, in response to the ongoing political disturbance in the neighbouring country, VU has received about 90 Belarusian citizens<\/strong>. About 50 of them are now studying for a bachelor\u2019s degree, the rest – for a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

Some Belarusian students of VU were awarded scholarships of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania<\/strong> and exempted from tuition fees, with the most talented students entitled to additional incentives – a monthly scholarship of 200 euros to support them in the first year of studies. Businesses are also contributing to the fund established to finance scholarships of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and part of the financing will be covered by the state.<\/p>\n

VU Rector Prof. Rimvydas Petrauskas says that a common history linking the two countries and solidarity with the Belarussian society obligates VU to help Belarusian citizens, emphasizing that the repression applied by the political regime should not become an obstacle for Belarusians to pursue education and develop their skills in the academic environment.<\/p>\n

\u201eWe cannot be unresponsive to processes going in Belarus, especially as the situation shows no signs of improvement. So far, we have made every effort to support the Belarusian academic community, and we invite our alumni and all organizations and citizens who are concerned<\/strong> about the situation in Belarus to mobilize their efforts for more active support. Our support today can become the basis for the liberation of the neighbouring nation. So, it is a kind of investment in the future security of our state,\u201d points out Mr Petrauskas.<\/p>\n

VU presented a \u201cone-stop-shop\u201d procedure<\/strong> that will allow students expelled from Belarusian universities to continue their studies at VU if they meet the requirements set by VU. More information on this can be found here here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
