The University of Twente Kipaji Scholarship offers additional support of up to €12,000 to eligible international students pursuing selected master’s programmes in the Netherlands in 2027/2028.

Malawi is included among the countries eligible for consideration. The award is intended for students from selected Least Developed Countries and Other Low Income Countries on the DAC list who demonstrate strong academic potential.

Kipaji is not a standalone scholarship. Applicants must also receive a University of Twente Scholarship (UTS). The university says candidates cannot apply separately for Kipaji through its main application system; applicants should state in their UTS motivation that they wish to be considered for Kipaji and meet its criteria.

The published Kipaji application deadline is April 1, 2027. Applicants should also check the relevant UTS application deadline and admission requirements for their chosen master’s programme.

The university describes the award as compensation for study-related costs. It does not automatically cover all tuition, travel, accommodation or living expenses. Current University of Twente students and master’s programmes at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) are excluded.

Prospective applicants should confirm the current country list, eligible programmes, scholarship conditions and deadlines on the University of Twente’s official scholarship pages.
