OTP banka sets aside HRK 750,000 to help students

As a part of its programme “Green light to knowledge”, OTP banka provides support to students of lower financial standing and students with outstanding athletic achievements. Over the past eleven years, the Bank set aside almost seven million kunas.

In the academic year 2020/2021, the Bank continued helping students of lower financial standing and student-athletes. The project for granting scholarships to students has been realised in partnership with the towns of Split, Zadar, Sisak and Biograd na Moru, the municipalities of Župa dubrovačka, Bilje, Jakšić, Bale, Barban and Pićan, the University of Zadar, and the charity of the Dubrovnik Diocese, which means that the Bank, as a partner, has joined the existing grant programmes for this academic year. The scholarships were awarded following the invitation to tenders, and the main criteria included financial and social standing of the applicants, and their academic performance.

Wishing to foster excellence in sports at the Croatian universities, OTP banka d.d. decided to award additional scholarships to four full time students who, apart from their academic accomplishments, have also achieved noteworthy results in their chosen sports.

The Bank has been contributing to better schooling conditions for students nationwide, through its programme “Green light to knowledge”. Over the past eleven years, the Bank set aside almost seven million kunas.
