Description: The Kipaji Scholarship Fund is founded especially for talented students from the Least Developed Countries and Other Low Income Countries on the DAC list. Students from these countries could have the potential, but not the means to study at the University of Twente. The Kipaji Scholarship supports students who also receive a University of Twente Scholarship.

 The Kipaji Scholarship Fund was founded by a couple of alumni and relations of the University of Twente and is also supported by the staff and alumni of the University of Twente. With an annual fundraising campaign alumni and employees are asked to support this scholarship fund.

Eligibility:

applicants must:

• apply for a University of Twente Scholarship (UTS) and meet all requirements of University of Twente Scholarship order to be eligible for a Kipaji Scholarship.
• have the nationality of one of the DAC countries (Least Developed Countries & Other Low Income Countries)
• have obtained a BSc in their home country or neighbouring country (not a BSc from the UT)
• receive a (partial) University of Twente Scholarship. The Kipaji Scholarship can ensure that they receive a full scholarship.
• have achieved good grades for their pre-master programme (average of 8).
• submit a motivation letter stating how they intend to use their studies at the University of Twente to increase/enhance the scientific level or for entrepreneurial purposes in their home country.
