Scholarship
The OPEC Fund Scholarship Award supports outstanding young individuals from developing countries so that they are able to pursue graduate studies in a development-related field.
Many of the OPEC Fund’s student ambassadors have returned to their home countries to begin their careers in international development.
Kindly note that the OPEC Fund is currently restructuring its scholarship program and is not accepting applications at this time.
