Scholarships for Students

Our flagship program removes financial barriers for bright, needy students seeking quality secondary education. We provide comprehensive first-year scholarships covering:

  • Tuition fees
  • School uniforms
  • Books and educational materials
  • School supplies

By alleviating this burden, we help students begin their academic journey with confidence and focus — honoring Thelma Ellis's belief in education as the most powerful tool for empowerment.
