Scholarships & Educational Support
Removing financial barriers so that every deserving African child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
Education Should Never Be a Luxury
AESDI's scholarship programme exists because talent and potential are distributed equally across Africa, but opportunity is not. Brilliant children are dropping out of school every day because their families cannot afford school fees, uniforms, books, or exam registrations.
We provide targeted financial support to two groups: children who have been out of school due to financial hardship (helping them re-enrol), and outstanding students at risk of dropping out due to poverty despite demonstrating academic excellence.
Beyond fees, our scholarship support includes learning materials, mentoring, and monitoring to ensure recipients complete their academic journey successfully.
Category 1: Out-of-School Children
For children who are currently not enrolled in school due to financial hardship, family crisis, or displacement. We support re-enrolment, fees, uniforms, and materials.
Category 2: Outstanding Students at Risk
For currently enrolled students with strong academic records who face a genuine financial threat to continuing their education. Applications require school endorsement.
