NEW YORK - In September 1999 the Michael Terech Scholarship was awarded to three undergraduate students: Roman Stanchak, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the amount of $3,000; Danielle Kost, a senior at Syracuse University S.l. Newhouse School of Public Communication in the amount of $1,000; and Galina Alexeenko, a junior at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga., in the amount of $1,000.

Mr. Stanchak of Randolph, Vt., is majoring in computer science and has already constructed two sites on the world wide web. He is a Presidential Scholar and is also very interested in art.

Ms. Kost of Pennellville, N.Y., is a fourth-generation Ukrainian American. She is majoring in magazine journalism. Ms. Kost is the lifestyle editor for the university newspaper. She is a two-time Terech Scholarship recipient.

Ms. Alexeenko of Krasnoarmeisk, Ukraine is majoring in international business. She arrived in the United States in 1996 as a recipient of a Freedom Support Act academic scholarship. She plans to return to Ukraine upon completion of her studies.

All the applicants were required to submit work samples, if applicable, transcripts of all undergraduate work, an autobiography, as well as a 500-word- essay on a contemporary Ukrainian topic of their choice.

The news service Reuters established the Michael Terech Scholarship, administered by the Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City, in November 1995 as a tribute to their employee and his work with the UIA. The scholarship is for undergraduate students of Ukrainian heritage, U.S.-based, who are studying journalism, computer science or business administration. Reuters will donate $5,000 annually to maintain this fund.
