Report on Scholarship Donations for the 2024 Academic Year and Opening for 2025 Early Scholarship Donations

Dear Donors and Kind Supporters,

The EDF Foundation would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of you who have supported and participated in our fundraising efforts to provide scholarships for underprivileged and disadvantaged children for the 2024 academic year. As of June 30, 2024, the EDF Foundation has received a total of 8,464 scholarships, which have been allocated as follows:
 

Type of Scholarship	Number of donations received
Scholarships for underprivileged students in lower secondary school	6,754 scholarships
Scholarships for underprivileged outstanding  students in lower secondary school	147 scholarships
Scholarships for underprivileged outstanding students in  upper secondary/vocational school	931 scholarships
Scholarships for disabled students integrated into regular schools	305 scholarships
Scholarships for orphans affected by the unrest in the three southern border provinces	276 scholarships
Scholarships for students pursuing an associate degree	25 scholarships
Scholarships for university students	26 scholarships
Total scholarship donations received in the Academic Year 2024	8,464 scholarships

The 8,464 scholarships donated represent 88% of the 9,658 students on the waiting list for scholarships for the 2024 academic year. The EDF Foundation’s scholarship team is currently in the process of announcing scholarships, confirming the continued education of all scholarship recipients, and collecting necessary documents to ensure that all scholarships are disbursed by the first semester of the 2024 academic year. Once the process is complete, the EDF Foundation will send updates on the sponsored students to all donors.

Your support is crucial in alleviating the educational expenses of underprivileged families. Financial hardship is a major factor contributing to school dropouts. Scholarships not only help reduce these burdens but also inspire students to believe that educational opportunities can change their futures for the better. It broadens their career prospects beyond just leaving school to enter the workforce as unskilled laborers, helping to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.

On behalf of the EDF Foundation’s Board of Directors and all the scholarship students, I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your unwavering support and dedication to providing educational opportunities to the children in our programs. Your contributions bring hope and encouragement to many children, and we are grateful for your partnership in creating a brighter future through education.

Opening for 2025 Scholarship Donations
From July 1, 2024 onwards, the EDF Foundation has opened donations for scholarships for the 2025 academic year. We anticipate that no less than 10,000 children nationwide will apply for scholarships next year. We sincerely hope that the EDF Foundation will once again have the opportunity to serve as a bridge of kindness, delivering educational assistance from you to the children who genuinely seek a better future through education.
