Overview
- The Ministry of Education reported 26,744 applications submitted by 7,156 applicants from temporarily occupied territories, the figures were released on Tuesday, July 28.
- Quota‑2 guarantees separate state-funded places for these entrants, set at a minimum of 10% of the state order per specialty and up to 40% for displaced universities in frontline regions.
- Applicants may start the admissions process without a Ukrainian passport or Ukrainian-format school documents and can restore papers later, with a network of 217 educational centers providing enrolment support.
- The government has added practical backing including a newly launched 'zero' preparatory course (811 completers by July, 154 from occupied territories), social scholarships, reduced dorm fees, priority housing and guaranteed psychological help.
- The ministry sees the current numbers as a positive trend compared with recent years and the campaign continues until 18:00 on August 1, which will determine final application totals and placement under the quota system.
