The Freedom Degree Mission

Our goal is to restore the right to education and academic freedom where they have been violated, and to help people continue their studies, research, and professional development.

Being a community leader or an activist is a talent and an accomplishment, which deserves no less recognition and support than academic achievements, in the form of scholarships and opportunities for further education.

Leadership and civic engagement can emerge at any age. We support people at any stage of their educational process, from applicants through postgraduate students.

Who We Support

We work with individuals in vulnerable situations who need guidance and access to opportunities:

• Students forced to leave their country who are seeking ways to continue their education in Europe, the U.S., or other regions

• Professors and researchers who lost their jobs or experienced limitations to their academic freedom

• Activists, refugees, and minority group members who cannot safely study in their home country

• People in emigration without access to formal education systems

Do we help those who are not at risk, but want to get an education or continue research abroad, and are searching for such an opportunity? Yes, of course!

If you share our values and are willing to support our mission with donations, our advisors will provide you with full support. You will be able to prepare and submit all the necessary applications effectively and provide such opportunities to students and academics from risk groups, for whom our services are free.

What We Do

• Provide admissions counseling for international university applications

• Help students and researchers find scholarships and academic grants

• Support displaced academics in their search for teaching and research opportunities

• Partner with universities that welcome at-risk students and scholars

• Promote the values of academic solidarity and equal access to knowledge

We don’t just offer advice — we walk with people through the entire journey, from loss to recovery!

Why This Work Matters

In times of global crisis and social instability, education increasingly becomes a privilege, not a right.

We want to change that. Freedom Degree exists to make education a real possibility for anyone excluded from traditional systems.

We bring together resources, people, and institutions that share our core values:

• Academic freedom

• Social justice

• Open and inclusive education

• Support for those affected by violence, persecution, or discrimination

How You Can Get Involved

• Looking for study opportunities or academic work abroad? We’ll help you navigate and find real options.

• Represent a university, foundation, or educational initiative? We’re open to partnerships.

• Want to support our mission? Become a mentor for students or make a donation to help us grow.
