Friends of EHU

European Humanities University (EHU) is a beacon for supporters of academic freedom – an international education free from discrimination of any kind – and an engine for the integration of Belarus into the family of nations. Its remarkable story illustrates its important contribution to the development of open, democratic societies.

The Friends of EHU are committed to supporting EHU, and honoring the courage of its faculty and students.

Please consider a gift to support scholarships for EHU students to cover the cost of education, accommodations, and a monthly allowance for living expenses and health insurance. Scholarships are available to students who demonstrate academic promise and exceptional talent. Awards are made available to bachelor's or master's degree students individually over one year, or until the student completes the degree. Scholarships may also cover 15 students studying in a particular program over one year, or until the completion of their degree. Without your help to fund these need-based scholarships, these students simply could not afford an education.

Leading a University in Exile - Inside Higher Ed

The European Humanities University may be unique in the world, in that it operates today completely as a university in exile.
