Hampton University (HU) has offered students affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to study on campus to continue their education.
According to NBC12, Dr. William Harvey, HU’s president, announced last week that the university would accept 50 to 100 Ukrainian (born and current residents) students for free this semester and next semester.
“The collective Hampton University faculty, staff and students are heartbroken because the war-torn country of Ukraine must deal with atrocities like the bombing of maternity wards,” Harvey said. “Hospitals and other civilian areas.”

Dr. Harvey stated that he believes the partnership will be beneficial for both the students and their families.
“I think this partnership is something that can be beneficial to a great number of students and families,” Harvey said. “My entire career has been focused on helping people to achieve and meet their goals.”
Once the summer semester is over, the students will have the option of staying at HU for regular tuition and fees.
Multiple users on Twitter expressed their opinions on the free room and board for the students at the HBCU as the news spread.
