Talents For Ukraine by KSE Foundation: $5,000 for Ukrainian Innovators in Science and Technology

The Kyiv School of Economics Foundation (KSE Foundation) has launched the Talents For Ukraine programme to support Ukrainian talents who drive change in science, technology, and society. The initiative aims to help innovators grow and thrive right here in Ukraine.

FOR WHOM

Research Inst.IndividualsCommunities

Calls you can apply to without an organisation: research fellowships and prizes, residencies for artists and journalists, training programmes, and the state Vlasna Sprava grant, where an individual registers as a sole proprietor after approval. The list comes from the GetGrant catalogue and contains only open calls.

These programmes assess the person first: academic or creative CV, portfolio, motivation letter and work plan. Amounts are smaller than institutional grants (usually 1 to 30 thousand euros or dollars), but decisions often take weeks and need no partners. Applications always go to the funder’s site, linked from each card.

Grants for individuals: open now

As of 7 November 2026, the GetGrant catalogue lists 71 open calls for individuals, 27 of them with rolling applications.
