Listen to online Stop   OTP BANK JSC has made a charitable contribution of UAH 1 million to KSE Foundation, which will provide scholarships to talented students of KSE University in the upcoming academic year. The support will be aimed at educating future economists, analysts, and managers. According to KSE Foundation, the scholarship recipients include children of active-duty military personnel and veterans, families of fallen defenders, internally displaced persons, as well as students demonstrating high academic potential and strong motivation to contribute to the country’s development. “OTP BAK highly values its partnership with KSE Foundation. Participation in their initiatives is not merely about financial support — it is about the future of Ukraine, which is being shaped right now, including through talented and motivated students who strive for knowledge, absorb best practices, and gain invaluable experience. Supporting youth is one of the most important tasks facing the country today, and the lives and stories of these students are stories of the fight for the future — stories of resilience, endurance, and determination. We are proud to stand alongside them,” said Lesia Syrota, Program Lead of OTP Bank Helps Ukraine and Director of the Retail Sales and Network Management Department at OTP BANK. The partnership between KSE Foundation and OTP BANK has been ongoing for several consecutive years. In particular, in December 2024, the Bank supported memorial scholarships totaling UAH 500,000 to honor the memory of Ruslan Cheliak, Iryna Tsybukh, and Yar Batoh — members of the KSE community who gave their lives defending Ukraine.
