OPEC Fund Scholarship Programme

The scholarship is intended for students studying in fields related to development, such as economics, energy, environment, agriculture, or engineering. It covers the costs associated with pursuing a graduate degree, allowing recipients to focus on their studies without the burden of financial constraints.

Applicants must be nationals of developing countries, excluding OPEC Fund member countries, and must have already obtained or be candidates for a Master's degree in a relevant field of study. The selection process is competitive and based on academic merit and the potential impact of the applicant's studies on their home country.

The scholarship is awarded to students who have been accepted into a Master's program at an accredited university. Recipients are expected to return to their home countries upon completion of their studies to apply the knowledge and skills gained during their academic program.

The OPEC Fund for International Development is an intergovernmental development finance institution established in 1976. The scholarship program is one of the ways the organization supports human capital development in its partner countries.
