For US students, EDWEB Foundation provides grants for SAT and ACT test fees, Advanced Placement (AP) exam subsidies, Common Application college admission fee waivers, and community college trade certification grants for low-income and first-generation scholars.
No. To maintain complete financial integrity and prevent fraud, 100% of scholarship funding is paid directly to recognized institutions—such as official examination councils (WAEC, JAMB, NECO, College Board, UCAS), accredited secondary schools, or certified vocational equipment suppliers.
Applicants must provide: (1) A clear passport photograph with a plain background, (2) A valid school/college ID card or principal/counselor endorsement letter, and (3) Their most recent academic report card, transcript, or trade admission letter.
Candidates pursuing technical trade apprenticeships receive full tuition sponsorship at certified vocational academies, plus essential starter toolkits (electrical, mechanical, fashion design, carpentry, plumbing, or IT hardware) upon commencement.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by our regional scholarship committees. Candidates receive notification via SMS and email within 5 to 7 business days following submission with a verified tracking reference code.
