The scholarship provides additional financial support to students who are also awarded a University of Twente Scholarship (UTS), helping to make a high-quality education in the Netherlands more accessible to talented students from economically disadvantaged countries. Applicants cannot apply for the Kipaji Scholarship separately through the UT application system; instead, eligible candidates should indicate in their UTS motivation statement that they wish to be considered for the Kipaji Scholarship.
