JSC OTP BANK made a charitable contribution of UAH 1 million to the KSE Foundation, which will provide scholarships to talented students of KSE University in the next academic year. The support will be aimed at future economists, analysts and managers.

According to the KSE Foundation, the scholarship recipients include children of military and veterans, families of fallen defenders, internally displaced persons, as well as students with high academic potential and motivation to develop the country.

“OTP BANK extremely appreciates the partnership with KSE Foundation. And participation in their projects is not about money, it is about the future of Ukraine, which is being shaped right now, including thanks to talented and motivated students who seek knowledge, absorb best practices, and gain invaluable experience. Supporting young people is one of the most important tasks of the country today, and the fates and stories of these students are stories of struggle for the future, stories of resilience, endurance and perseverance. We are proud to be there for them,” said Lesya Syrota, team leader of OTP Bank Helps Ukraine program, Director of Retail Sales and Network Management Department of OTP Bank.

The partnership between KSE Foundation and OTP Bank has been going on for several years. Thus, in December 2024, the Bank supported memorial scholarships worth UAH 500 thousand to honor the memory of Ruslan Chopiuk, Iryna Tsybukh and Yar Batoh, members of the KSE community who gave their lives for Ukraine.
