Orange Knowledge Programmes' Fellowships for Masters Students 2019



About the OKP
The Orange Knowledge Programme promotes capacity building within organisations in 52 countries by providing training and education through fellowships for professionals. The overall aim of the OKP is to help increase both the number and the competencies of skilled staff at a wide range of governmental and non-governmental organisations. You have to be nominated by your employer to be eligible for the fellowship. There also has to be a clear need for training within the context of your organisation. After completing your training you return to your original workplace, and this ensures the training is embedded within your organisation.
Who is the OKP for?
The OKP target group consists of professionals who are nationals of, and work and live in, an OKP country. The chances of obtaining an OKP fellowship increase if you live and work in Sub-Saharan Africa and/or if you are a woman.
The allowance is a contribution towards your costs of living, the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research.
Application procedure
You can apply for the OKP through Radboud University. The application round for Master’s programmes with starting date September 2019 will be opened from 3 February 2019 till 25 March 2019. You will be informed by Radboud University about the outcome of the selection by mail end of May 2019.
In order to apply for the OKP you must first apply for the Master's programme of your choice. However, you do not need to wait until you have been officially accepted to study at Radboud University before you apply for the OKP. You can apply for the OKP as soon as you have applied for an eligible Master's programme.
However, it would be strongly advisable to apply for a Master's programme well in advance of the OKP deadline. This because you must be accepted by the university at the end of the deadline. Our website contains more information about the assessment period after you submit your application for a Master's programme.
Your OKP application will require a statement from your employer. You can download a document with the required format for employer's statements by clicking here (docx, 33 kB). You may also require a government statement. A document with the required format for government statements and more information can be downloaded by clicking here (docx, 46 kB).
Please note: Only if you meet all necessary requirements can you begin the OKP application procedure at Radboud University.
Criteria and general information
On the Orange Knowledge Programme website you can find specific criteria and general information.
OKP selection procedure
If a candidate meets the requirements his or her application will be assessed. The Netherlands Embassy and NUFFIC will eventually decide. You will be informed by Radboud University about the outcome of the selection procedure by email.
