We advance educational equity by funding 100% of candidate examination fees (WAEC, JAMB, NECO, GCSE, A-Levels, SAT), delivering direct hunger relief deposits to UK community food banks, and providing vocational trade toolkits across the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and the United States.

How does EDWEB Foundation support students and apprentices in the United Kingdom?

In the UK, EDWEB Foundation provides means-tested bursaries covering GCSE and A-Level examination retake and tutoring fees, UCAS undergraduate application fee subsidies, and tool/travel grants for young apprentices enrolled in T-Levels, BTECs, or technical certifications.

Who is eligible for WAEC, JAMB, and NECO examination sponsorship in Nigeria?

Any secondary school final-year student or private candidate who demonstrates academic dedication but cannot afford registration fees is eligible. We partner directly with public and community schools to verify student enrollment and financial need, paying registration fees straight to official councils.

What financial assistance is available for students in the United States?

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.

Does the Foundation give cash directly to candidates or guardians?

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.

What documents are required when submitting a scholarship application?

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.

How does the Vocational Studies & Apprenticeship Toolkit program work?

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.

How long does the selection and verification process take?

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.
