“With Heartfelt Thanks from EDF Foundation: 7,393 Scholarships Made Possible by You for the 2026 Academic Year”

Dear Donors and Kind Supporters,


On behalf of the Board of Directors of the EDF Foundation, I would like to extend our deepest appreciation to every donor and supporter who has chosen to invest in the future of disadvantaged children through education.

Your generosity represents far more than financial assistance. It gives children from low-income families the confidence to remain in school, pursue their dreams, and believe that a brighter future is still within reach despite the hardships they face.

On June 30, 2026, EDF officially concluded its scholarship fundraising campaign for the 2026 Academic Year. As of the campaign closing date, a total of 7,393 scholarships had been generously sponsored by compassionate individuals and organizations.
 

Scholarship Donations for the 2026 Academic Year

(Unofficial figures as of June 30, 2026)

Scholarship Program Scholarships Sponsored
Lower Secondary School Scholarships 5,545
Underprivileged but High- Achieving  Lower Secondary Scholarships 306
Upper Secondary / Vocational Education Scholarships 1,000
Scholarships for Students with Disabilities 349
Scholarships for Orphaned Students in Thailand’s Deep South 164
University Scholarships 29
Total 7,393

These 7,393 scholarships represent approximately 85% of the 8,694 students who successfully qualified for support and were awaiting scholarships this year.

Behind every scholarship is a child whose education can continue, a family whose burden has been eased, and a future that has become brighter because someone chose to care.

Despite ongoing economic challenges and uncertainty both in Thailand and around the world, your compassion has remained unwavering. Your support has enabled thousands of children to stay in school, continue learning, develop their potential, and build a future shaped by opportunity rather than hardship.

While an EDF scholarship may appear modest in monetary value, to a child living in poverty it can mean the difference between staying in school and giving up on an education. It is often the opportunity that changes the course of a young person's life.

Beginning July 1, 2026, EDF has opened scholarship donations for the 2027 Academic Year to ensure that future students in need will have the same opportunity to pursue their education.

Sunphet Nilrat
