In celebration of Staatsolie’s 45th anniversary, Staatsolie launched the 45 jaar Staatsolie Studiebeurzenfonds to support 45 young Surinamese students with financial assistance for further education in Suriname. The initiative helps motivated students from financially vulnerable households continue their studies at MBO, HBO or university level.
In 2025, Staatsolie launched the 45 jaar Staatsolie Studiebeurzenfonds as part of its 45th anniversary. The fund supports 45 young Surinamese students from financially vulnerable households, helping them continue their education at MBO, HBO or university level in Suriname.
The scholarship was launched on 22 July 2025 under the motto “Skoropapira na yu saka, fu kraka yu baka.” It covers study-related costs such as tuition and/or materials, a monthly allowance during the nominal study period, and laptop support of up to USD 500 per student.
The project is implemented in partnership with the Nationale Ontwikkelingsbank van Suriname N.V. (NOB), which manages registration, selection, agreements and study progress monitoring. Through this initiative, Staatsolie invests in education, youth development and long-term capacity building for Suriname.
