We all have a duty to do what we can to help and continue doing this for as long as necessary. Our main priority so far has been to support our Ukrainian students and we are currently trying to help them in a variety of ways. EBS has also initiated a series of activities to help individuals, families and organisations fleeing the conflict zone.
As the conflict continues and its impact is likely to be felt for a very long time, EBS has also been putting in place a longer-term approach to assist those in need. The school is ready to offer full scholarships to students arriving from Ukraine at both the EBS High School and EBS University starting immediately. We are also ready to support universities in Ukraine in case they have to displace their activities and relocate their students by offering EBSs' physical and digital infrastructures to provide a safe environment for study.
In addition, EBS is ready to support the Estonian and Finnish governments in the implementation of their activities regarding displaced persons.
In these tense and difficult times, we would also like to stress that the EBS community is defined by its values and not through language or nationality. We are calling on our community, our students and alumni, our faculty and staff to help Ukrainian people through donations:
