Thanks to OTP Bank’s contribution of UAH 1 million, KSE Foundation will provide scholarships to talented students at KSE University in the upcoming academic year.
The support is aimed at future economists, analysts, and managers — young people ready to take responsibility and become leaders of change in Ukraine. Among the scholarship recipients are children of military personnel and veterans, families of fallen defenders, internally displaced persons, as well as students with high academic potential and motivation to contribute to the country’s development.
The partnership between KSE Foundation and OTP Bank has been ongoing for several years and serves as an example of systematic support for education and investment in a new generation of skilled professionals.
“OTP Bank highly values its partnership with KSE Foundation. Participating in their projects is not just about money — it’s about shaping the future of Ukraine, right now, thanks to talented and motivated students who strive for knowledge, embrace best practices, and gain invaluable experience. Supporting young people is one of the country’s most important tasks today, and the stories of these students are stories of resilience, perseverance, and the fight for a better future. We are proud to be part of this journey,” said Lesya Syrota, Team Leader of the OTP Bank Helps Ukraine program and Director of Retail Sales and Network Management at OTP Bank.
In December 2024, the bank also supported memorial scholarships totaling UAH 500,000 to honor the memory of Ruslan Chopyuk, Iryna Tsybukh, and Yar Batoh — members of the KSE community who gave their lives for Ukraine. For KSE Foundation, this initiative represents a link between their courage and our responsibility, and a way to continue the legacy of the Heroes.
KSE Foundation thanks OTP Bank for its trust and consistent support of our projects — from investing in scholarship programs for talented young people to helping fund medical evacuation helicopters for the Main Intelligence Directorate, which save lives every day.
