Since its inception in 1987, the TWG Fellowship Fund has awarded nearly $45,000 in grants for 35 distinct projects. From 1987 to 1990, grants were awarded exclusively to Ukrainian-Americans or Canadians to conduct educational or work projects to further Ukrainian American interests, and take advantage of Washington's unique resources.
In 1990, with the new opportunities presented by the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the TWG Fellowship Committee opened its program to candidates in Ukraine and abroad.
Between 1991 and 1996, the Fund awarded some $14,000 to support over a dozen projects/candidates from Ukraine.
Since 1996, the Fund has sponsored 15 interns at the Embassy of Ukraine, Ukrainian National Information Service, and the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council at a cost of $16,500.
