For 31 years that EDF Foundation has been implementing and administering Scholarship Program with our mission to prolong their school life of Thai disadvantaged students who traditionally struggled with attendance because of the lack of financial means, inferiorities, thereby missing the learning opportunities to which they were rightfully entitled. Since then EDF has granted many more scholarships and continues in its commitment to empowering disadvantaged children through education. From 1988 to 2018, with continuing support from caring donors both in Thailand and abroad, EDF has delivered scholarships to the total number of 373,414 disadvantaged students in more than 5,500 rural schools covering 55 provinces throughout Thailand.
For this school year 2019, EDF has recently completed the verification and screening process of scholarship applicants from over 50 provinces through out Thailand and finallycome up with the total number of 10,046 qualified candidates as final list for all scholarship program in this year 2019.
According to the scholarship fundraising progress as of today (April 25, 2019), EDF has raised the accumulated number of 7,500 scholarship donations from our donors and supporters which comprises; 6,326 scholarships for poor lower secondary students, 668 scholarships for poor upper secondary/vocational students, 306 scholarships for students with disabilities and 200 scholarships for orphaned students affected from the unrest in the 3 southernmost provinces. However, 2,546 more scholarships are still needed to fulfill needs of all 10,046 qualified candidates in this school year 2019
Scholarship support from youis crucial not only to help relieve the financial burden of their families on their schooling, but also give them good encouragement in studying and empower them with potential to become self reliance and escape from the vicious cycle of poverty.
EDF still accepts scholarship donations for those 10,046 scholarship candidates of this school year 2019 until the coming May, 31, 2019.
