Flagship program
EDTEF Senior Secondary Scholarship
A full-tuition scholarship for academically strong students through the three years of senior secondary school, SS1 to SS3.
Full tuition waiver
Scholars pay no tuition fees from SS1 to SS3, so they can focus entirely on their studies.
70% average to keep it
Scholars maintain an average of at least 70% across their subjects to keep their scholarship.
Results every term
Scholars share their term results with EDTEF before the next term begins, so we can track progress together.
Guidance along the way
We stay in touch with every scholar and family, and step in early if a student needs extra support.
