Sponsoring a student under EDF Scholarship Program is 1:1 basis, where the scholarship fund from each donor will be granted as a scholarship to the individual student directly. So, the children can spend on educational related purposed under the supervision of a teacher.

EDF Lower Secondary Scholarship Program is to support poor students who wish to study further to lower secondary school (Grade 7-9) and selection is based on poverty level and the willingness to learn. Their grades level will not be considered in the scholarship eligibility process.

This Program is for students from impoverished backgrounds who are about to finish their primary education and wish to continue their education onto secondary level.
