FOUNDATION FOR UKRAINE STUDENTS AT FAD STU

Support for Ukraine and its people

The STU Faculty of Architecture and Design joins the voices calling for an end to Russian aggression, halting the violence and an immediate return to diplomacy. We do not wish for our students to be educated in an atmosphere of unrest, and crisis of the basic human values that go hand-in-hand with war. We believe that conflicts will not expand to the academic environment and will not affect the academic rights and freedoms of students at our faculty, regardless of their nationality.

In this difficult situation, the faculty management is in contact with our Ukrainian students, and we strive to help them. Together with the STU management, we are looking for opportunities for financial support and are also addressing you: employees and students of our faculty, so that you – if you can – get involved in one of the ongoing fund-raising campaigns, for example through any of these non-profit organizations:

Enrolled / current students: STU measures in a crisis situation related to the war in Ukraine

Based on the summarized requirements and needs of the students affected by the military conflict in Ukraine the STU crisis team took several precautions at its meeting on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. 

  1. Extraordinary scholarship:
    All foreign students in distress being affected by the ongoing war who apply for support via AIS will be granted a scholarship in the amount of 200 euro from the University’s own funds. The scholarship can only be disbursed to Slovak bank accounts and can be granted repeatedly.
  2. Accommodation and payments:
    All foreign students in distress being affected by the ongoing war who for various reasons are not able to settle their accounts for their lodging are assured by the STU that their accommodation will be guaranteed for the whole summer semester of the academic year 2021/22 and the deferment of the respective payments will be accepted without any sanctions. Students will be informed about the next steps.
  3. The Study:
    For all war-affected students, the university will look for ways to mitigate the impact of the current situation on their studies. We will assist in addressing the individual requirements of students in an effort to help them continue their studies. However, the affected students are asked to co-operate and communicate with the lecturers and/or the study departments of the faculties.
  4. Possibilities of temporary accommodation:
    The Slovak University of Technology has already offered the state authorities the use of the special purpose facility in Gabčíkovo for temporary accommodation of war-imperilled Ukrainian citizens, including families with children.
  5. Admission procedure:
    STU will strive to simplify the conditions of admission to study for students from war-affected areas in the future, even in those cases where there are difficulties in proving the previous education. An opportunity for transfer to STU will be provided for those who will show an interest or will have to change the place of study.
  6. Zero tolerance:
    STU does not accept any indications of any form of animosity between nations, ethnicities, races and religions. Violation of these rules may lead to expulsion from the study.
  7. A crisis link for students stuhelpsukraine@googlegroups.com has been established. At this forum most forms of help are being communicated and coordinated directly by our students. In case of more serious problems, students affected by the war can also contact the line ukrajina@stuba.sk.

Enrolled / current students: STU has set up a transparent account to help students from war-affected areas

The Slovak University of Technology continues its activities to help its students from war-affected areas in Ukraine. STU has set up a transparent bank account to provide emergency assistance, to cover the basic needs as well as to support their study.

The purpose of the account is to accumulate funds that will be used to provide emergency assistance, to cover the basic needs of STU students affected by the war in Ukraine, i.e.to cover the board, accommodation, to support study and study-related activities. The account is not intended to provide direct financial support.

Applicants for contributions from this account can be current STU students from war-affected areas in Ukraine, who are in Slovakia or are relocating to Slovakia, who are in distress and need help to cover the costs related to basic necessities of life and their study.

It is possible to contribute any amount to a transparent account number:

  • IBAN: SK90 8180 0000 0070 0067 4410
  • SWIFT: SPSRSKBAXXX

Funds from the account are intended to provide:

  • basic necessities of life
  • basic needs of accommodation
  • basic health care
  • basic needs related to study.

The amount of the support granted from the transparent account will be decided by the STU Transparent Account Council composed of: STU Vice-Rector Ján Híveš, Quaestor Rastislav Igliar, SVF Vice-Dean Katarína Gajdošová, FCFT Vice-Dean Milena Reháková, Milan Husár from IM and a representative of students. The supervision will be provided by STU vice-rectors Maximilián Strémy and Mikuláš Bittera.

The details of the process of applying assistance from a transparent account will be further communicated.

Data on the status of the transparent account are accessible.

STU students can apply for an allowance from a transparent account by sending a scan of the completed and signed form to the e-mail address STUpreUkrajinu@stuba.sk.
