Each scholarship we grant is more than financial aid, it is a doorway to dreams, a step towards success, and a spark of hope for the future.

Their words inspire us to keep going, and we are proud to share some of their heartfelt testimonies:
Receiving the GEFA Scholarship has been a turning point in my academic journey. Before this opportunity, I struggled to afford study materials and pay certain school fees, but now I can focus fully on my studies without the constant stress of financial constraints. GEFA’s support has motivated me to aim higher and excel in my field. I am forever grateful for this life-changing opportunity
The GEFA Scholarship didn’t just help me, it helped my entire family. As the first child, I often had to sacrifice my education needs so my younger siblings could go to school. Thanks to GEFA, I can continue my studies without being a burden on my parents. This scholarship is more than financial aid; it’s a blessing that has given my family hope and pride.
I have always dreamed of becoming an engineer, but the financial challenges seemed overwhelming. GEFA believed in me when I almost gave up. This scholarship has not only covered my school expenses but also boosted my confidence. Today, I am on my way to making my dream a reality, all thanks to GEFA’s commitment to empowering students like me.
Before GEFA, I saw education as a distant goal I might never reach. Now, I am not only in school but also performing excellently. The scholarship gave me more than money, it gave me a reason to believe in myself. GEFA’s generosity has inspired me to help others in the future, just as I have been helped today.
GEFA Scholarship is not just changing my life; it’s changing my community. With the knowledge and skills I am gaining, I plan to return to my village to teach and mentor young people. GEFA’s investment in me is an investment in the future of many others who will benefit from my education. I am proud to be a GEFA Scholar.
