The OFID Scholarships Application is a fully-funded master’s scholarship sponsored by the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID). It aims to support students studying in the field of Development or Energy Studies, such as economics of development (poverty reduction, energy and sustainable development), environment (desertification), and related Science and Technology programs.
This scholarship provides a full-tuition award to cover the cost of studying a master’s degree program at any accredited university or higher education institution. It is open to students from developing countries worldwide, regardless of whether their country is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
OFID is committed to supporting talented individuals who have a passion for research in the field of development. This scholarship scheme helps these individuals overcome the financial barrier to pursuing graduate studies, allowing them to focus on their academic and career goals.
To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must have been admitted into a master’s degree program at an institution of higher learning. They should be from a developing country (except OFID Member Countries) and must select a subject of study that is related to the work of OPEC, such as economics of development, environment and desertification, or science and technology.
The application process involves registering within the OFID Scholarship Portal, filling out the online application form, and uploading all the required documents, including a CV, two recommendation letters, official transcripts, a letter of motivation, an essay, and a passport copy.
This scholarship opportunity provides students with the chance to advance their studies, achieve their goals, and make a positive impact in their home countries.
