The program is expected to disburse scholarships worth an average of $25,000 to 176 students _ the same as the number of people who were aboard Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 when it was hit by two missiles launched by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Jan. 8, 2020.

Ottawa says the scholarships will be open to both Canadian and international students, with applications opening in fall of 2023.

Ontario says it will fund $10,000 scholarships to 57 students.

Fifteen post-secondary institutions in the province lost students or faculty in the tragedy.

Premier Doug Ford says he hopes the scholarships will give some comfort to the victims’ families.
