UCU establishes a scholarship fund in memory of Yevheniia, Yaryna, Daria, and Emilia Bazylevych

This was reported by the UCU website.

The goal is to raise $100,000. This will allow UCU students to receive a scholarship every year to follow the ideals and principles the Bazylevych sisters and their mother demonstrated with their lives.

All of them were also active Plast members.

On the night of September 4, during another massive shelling of Lviv, a Russian missile took the lives of Daria, her two sisters, Yaryna and Emilia, and their mother, Yevheniia, while they were in the stairwell of their house, during an air raid.

Yaroslav Bazylevych, the father of three daughters, shared his story: “I was the richest and the happiest husband and father: I always knew that I had a treasure, for I had such a wonderful wife and such responsible, hardworking, beautiful, intelligent, proactive, patriotic children. I have always been proud of them and I always will be. They were supposed to have everything ahead of them. All of them. In an instant, I lost the diversity of feelings that all four of them, each in their own way, gave me during our life together. Today, I am left with the best, the happiest and the most beautiful memories, and the rest... All the rest has been torn away, amputated! I am asking everyone to help me create a sustainable scholarship fund in the name of Yevheniia, Yaryna, Daria and Emilia Bazylevich so that the world remembers their names.”

The goal is to raise $100,000 to create a sustainable scholarship fund (endowment). The endowment will allow generating a scholarship every year in memory of Yevheniia, Yaryna, Daria and Emilia Bazylevych. In this way, the university will be able to cover the tuition fees for talented students who, due to difficult life circumstances, are unable to pay for their education.

The tradition of endowments is widespread in many universities in the United States, Canada and Europe. Establishing a scholarship fund allows you to preserve and perpetuate the memory of a person. Thus, with the outbreak of full-scale war, UCU established 10 scholarship funds in honor of military personnel - students and graduates of the university - who died in the war.

“In world practice, one of the most effective ways to sustainably support teachers and students is to establish sustainable endowments,” says Natalia Klymovska, Vice-Rector for Development and Communications, ”Through the creation of the scholarship fund, we seek to pass on to future generations the values and ideals professed by Yevheniia, Yaryna, Daria, and Emilia Bazylevych. A sustainable scholarship fund is also an educational moment for future generations so that the victims of war are not forgotten. The memory of our fallen in this unjust war will live forever.”

Therefore, the Ukrainian Catholic University and Plast invite philanthropists to become founders of the scholarship fund named after Yevheniia, Yaryna, Daria and Emilia Bazylevych, and thus perpetuate the memory of the family and help future generations of Ukrainians to receive a quality education.
