Junior Fellow of Griffin Scholars in 2023-2026

The Ukraine Math and Science Achievement Fund supports talented Ukrainian students whose studies have been interrupted by the war

Launched and funded by Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin, it builds on an earlier effort led by Dr. Ferenc Huszár, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Cambridge, Dr. Iryna Korshunova, a machine learning researcher, and a group of committed volunteers who have been providing the displaced Olympiad community from Ukraine with financial support and educational resources since the war began in 2022. After learning about this grassroots effort, Ken was inspired to amplify their work and further support top STEM students seeking to pursue their studies and maximize their potential. 10-15 children from Ukraine are selected per year, 95% of whom are university applicants.
