The key priorities for the programme are Food and nutrition security, Water, energy and climate, Sexual and reproductive health and rights, and Security and the rule of law.

*NOTE*

Due to the current international situation with COVID-19, the Orange Knowledge Scholarship Programme is currently under revision. We expect that a series of changes will be implemented, which could include a.o. a shift in key focus areas, adjusted deadlines etc. We advise you to proceed with your application according to the procedure on the scholarship page. Once we have more information, we will update you regarding the new programme conditions. We are not in a position to provide a deadline but all completed applications will be informed. The MENA Scholarship Programme remains unchanged.
