Organization Overview: Eva Staszkiw was a member of UNWLA Branch 26 in Detroit. After her husband’s death, she moved to Miami and joined Branch 17. A devoted soyuzianka and advocate for educational opportunities, Staszkiw was committed to supporting those who wanted to pursue Ukrainian studies. “We desperately need them now,” she used to say. “We need young educated people able to share the truth about Ukraine everywhere.” In the late 50ties, Staszkiw generously supported UNWLA Scholarship Fund. When she died, the Ukrainian National League of America was honored to receive a final act of Eva Staszkiw’s love for Ukraine. She donated her life savings to the UNWLA to further expand support of Ukrainian studies.
