10.30.2007 New USA/USA-ÓÊÐÀÌÅÐÅÆÀ Program Students utilizing over 1.5 million dollars in scholarships
   
  In September 2007, the USA/USA-ÓÊÐÀÌÅÐÅÆÀ Program had the largest number of students every beginning four year college scholarships and shorter prep school scholarships in its fifteen years of existence. 
   
  Eight promising college students arrived to begin their studies in America: 
   
  at the University of Pennsylvania (Yuliya Sychikova, Berdyansk, and Hanna Maksymova, Kryvyi Rih), 
  at Bates, (Alina Volobuyeva, Kharkiv), 
  at the University of the South (Sewanee) (Stanislav Veselovsky, Kerch), 
  at Franklin and Marshall (Oleg Kozachenko, Kerch), 
  at Washington and Lee (Anatoliy Khomenko, Yalta), 
  at Yale (Ivan Kozyryev, Kupyansk-Vuzlovy), and 
  at MIT (Kateryna Kozyrytska Kerch). 
   
  In addition, Nataliya Ovchar of Zaporizhzhia arrived at the Maine Central Institute for two years of preparatory school.
   
  This amounts to over 1.5 million dollars in scholarships that the students are utilizing.  
   
  These nine students add to the thirteen USA/USA college students and six prep school students already studying in the USA, Canada, and Switzerland at this time.   Since 1992 forty two USA/USA students have won full four year scholarships to leading American colleges as a result of this program. Additional older students are already in graduate school. 
   
  Two additional USA/USA seminar participants arrived in September as FSA/FLEX (US Government sponsored) one year high school exchange students: 
   
  Alina Pankova (Sevastopol) arrived in Center Colorado.  She is currently fifteen years of age. 
  Alexandra Nikolayenko (selo Podoly, Kharkiv oblast) arrived in Sanger Texas.  She is sixteen. 
   
  These students represent a variety of achievements.  Anatoliy Khomenko is a former high school English language Olympiad champion of Ukraine.  He is also an accomplished violinist. 
   
  Alina Pankova won the Prosvita award for the best Ukrainian language book written by a child.  She had composed, formatted and hand-crafted an alphabet book for first and second graders.  She was twelve years old at the time of her award. 
   
  Ivan Kozyryev won the Economics Olympiad of Kharkiv oblast.  
   
  The USA/USA Program is slowly developing an office presence in New York City.  We are looking forward to interacting with the general academic community dealing with Ukraine in the United States.  We would also look forward to developing an active relationship with Ukrainian American communities across the USA.  Our students stretch from Stanford University to the University of Wisconsin (Madison) to Northwestern University, to George Washington University to Harvard University at this time.  They come from ordinary families and represent a variety of interests.  
   
  We plan to provide additional comprehensive information about our program and our current college, graduate students, alumni, and our future plans on this bulletin board.
