The Orange Knowledge Program (OKP) is a scholarship program funded by the Dutch government. It aims to contribute to sustainable development by providing opportunities for professionals from developing countries to pursue education and training in the Netherlands.
The OKP offers a range of short-term courses and master's degree programs in various fields, including agriculture and food security, water management, renewable energy, public administration, and many others. The program is primarily targeted at mid-career professionals working in organizations or government institutions in eligible countries.
The scholarships cover the costs of tuition fees, visa, travel, insurance, and living expenses for the duration of the course or program. The selection process for the OKP is competitive and based on a set of criteria determined by the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP).
The program is administered by Nuffic, the Dutch organization for internationalization in education. They collaborate with Dutch universities, educational institutions, and other organizations to deliver the OKP courses and programs.
To apply for the Orange Knowledge Program, individuals must meet the eligibility criteria and follow the application process specified by the participating Dutch higher education institution offering the course or program of interest. It is advisable to visit the official Nuffic website or the website of the participating institutions for detailed information on available courses, application deadlines, and specific requirements.
