We need and deserve your support
Translators from Ukrainian to English are hard to come by, and it takes a tremendous amount of effort and resources to get the education and training needed for high-quality translation work. Our Summer Institute provides full funding to all qualified participants and always looks for ways to support active translators. If you can help by providing financial or in-kind support, please reach out to us.
