Zinoviy Kozitskyi took part in a charity gala held to support scholarship recipients of the Talent Boost: Future Makers programme, organized by the Lviv Polytechnic. Future Charitable Foundation. The event brought together partners and friends of Lviv Polytechnic National University.

The fundraising event raised UAH 6.5 million, exceeding its initial target. Each of the 100 scholarship recipients will receive an additional UAH 5,000 per month throughout their first year of study. The surplus funds will be allocated to establish next year’s scholarship fund.

At a time of war, migration, and growing competition for young talent, retaining and developing Ukraine’s intellectual potential requires more than individual ambition. It also takes an environment that provides opportunities for growth. That is why supporting students with strong potential is of strategic importance.

Ukraine needs engineers, researchers, technology entrepreneurs, architects, managers, and innovative professionals capable of driving the country’s recovery and modernization. Building this potential starts today — in university lecture halls, laboratories, and student projects. Initiatives like this send a clear message to young people: their talents are recognized, their decision to study in Ukraine is valued, and responsibility for their future does not rest on their shoulders alone.

“Together with our business partners and educators, we have set an ambitious goal through the Foundation: to encourage young Ukrainians to stay in Ukraine and pursue their studies at Ukrainian universities. On a personal level, it is important to me to show young people that they have opportunities and prospects here at home, so they can envision their future in Ukraine. Today, Lviv Polytechnic is among the leading universities not only in Ukraine but also internationally. It offers an environment that fosters academic engagement, advances research and innovation, and creates opportunities for people to realize their potential,” said Zinoviy Kozitskyi, co-founder of the Lviv Polytechnic.
