What is an OKP Scholarship?

One possibility for obtaining a scholarship to study at KIT is through the Orange Knowledge Programme (OKP). This programme aims to advance the capacity, knowledge and quality of both individuals and institutions of higher and vocational education. The programme recently has been extended for two years until end 2024.

To maximize their impact on capacity building, OKP-funded training must be linked to the institutional development of organizations. A wide range of governmental, private and non-governmental organizations are eligible. Examples include educational institutions, planning agencies, ministries, community-based organizations and private enterprises. The scholarships are available to applicants from 30 countries (read further for list as the list of eligible countries has changed recently)
