The Netherlands is now offering free postgraduate studies and courses to international students through their Orange Knowledge Program-OKP scholarship. This scholarship provides foreign students with the opportunity to study at top universities in the country without any tuition fees. The program, which is open to students from Bangladesh, covers a range of courses such as Integrated Food and Nutrition Security, Integrated Water Resources Management, Delta Management, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.

The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs funds the scholarship, which offers short courses for two weeks to 12 months and master's degree programs for one to two years. The scholarship fully covers the cost of students' education, including tuition fees, airfare, monthly stipend, and health insurance. To qualify for the OKP, applicants must be citizens of designated countries, have good academic results, participate in co-curricular activities, and be proficient in English or French.

To apply, students must first select a course and then contact the university offering that subject. Applicants must apply online and submit their passport, academic papers, two reference letters, personal statement, English proficiency certificate, curriculum vitae, and research proposal (if any).

This scholarship provides an excellent opportunity for international students to pursue their postgraduate studies in the Netherlands without the financial burden. Students who meet the qualifications should take advantage of this opportunity and apply as soon as possible.
