The Ministry of Education and Science predicts that approximately 30,000 contract students will receive educational grants this year. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Education and Science Mykhailo Vynnytskyi during a briefing, as reported by UNN.
We see that from last year to this year, the figures are virtually identical. Recommendations have been somewhat redistributed to other institutions, meaning applicants entered different institutions than last year. In total, 176,376 applicants received recommendations. Of these, 65,493 for state-funded places and 110,883 for contract places.

He noted that a large number of contract students receive grants.
We currently predict approximately 30,000 grant recipients. This means that more than half of this year's applicants will receive state financial support for their education.
Which specialties are leaders among applicants? Vynnytskyi noted that management is in first place among applicants.
We must understand that the labor market is very oversaturated in this specialty.
However, he noted that there is also a positive trend. Thus, psychology, computer science, education, and medicine are in the top ten.
