Nick Krawetz, a third-generation Ukrainian-Canadian from Winnipeg, is asking Manitoba universities to cover tuition costs for Ukrainian students impacted by the war.
Krawetz wrote a letter to the presidents of Brandon University, the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba on Saturday. In the letter, he calls on them to cover the costs of airfare, tuition, resident fees, meal plans and counseling for Ukrainian students.
The University of Winnipeg says it is waiving application fees for students coming from Ukraine and is extending support to all students impacted by the war. It says students in financial need can also apply for its emergency student relief fund. The University of Manitoba says it has been working with impacted students on a case-by-case basis and is supporting them through extending fee deadlines, removing fee penalties and providing bursaries, emergency loans, and food. Brandon University says it will waive tuition fees for international students coming from Ukraine and open residences to refugees.
