The Organization for Improvement of the Quality of Education – ORCA, as part of the QAINT project consortium, has designed a grant scheme for student organizations and informal student groups, intended to energize student activism to improve transparency, accountability, and academic integrity at the public higher education institutions in Kosovo. This grant scheme will support projects whose direct beneficiaries will be public university students, academic staff, colleges, departments, centers or institutes.

The call for the first round of applications, which was announced by ORCA on August 13, 2019 and remained open through September 13, 2019, attracted a lot of interest, especially on the part of informal student groups. ORCA has received many interesting project proposals that will be reviewed in detail in compliance with the criteria stated in the call for applications to select the most successful candidates.
