The scholarship will be awarded on a permanent basis with funds obtained from donors, KDN members, supporters & corporate members. Each year, academically outstanding or promising but economically disadvantaged students attending various high schools (9-12) in Ethiopia will be selected for the Scholarship. The scholarship is not intended to fully cover the financial needs of poor students but it is expected to serve three main purposes: (1) It serves as a token appreciation for students' hard work, (2) It provides a moral support to students from economically and social disadvantaged families to continue their education and not to drop out from school for lack of financial support, and (3) it encourage female participation in elementary, secondary & tertiary education.

Scholarship Award Conditions

1. Each student selected for the scholarship will receive a stipend of Birr 100 (one hundred) per month, from September-June, when the school is in session. The total maximum award will not exceed Birr 1,000 per academic year.

2. The stipend will be provided to each beneficiary by KDN and be administered or paid monthly by the school the student is enrolled.

3. Starting 2009-10 academic year, KDN will provide financial assistance only to those students who attend grades 9-12 in local high schools. To be eligible for the scholarship each year, a high school student must: 1) attend school regularly, (2) maintain a high academic performance, and (3) prove that he/she continues to face financial hardship if support from KDN terminates. Scholarship award will not continue after the student graduates from the high school. However, a one-time payment of up to Birr 1,000.00 will be made to those who enter the first year college and incur transportation and other set up costs).

Eligibility Criteria

Any students who meets all four criteria listed below is eligible to apply for the scholarship:

1. Be a full-time student attending grades 9-12 in at current academic year (Applicants must provide a proof of registration or a letter from the school registrar's office attesting this).

2. Be in the 99th percentile or first place in grade rankings at high school level or maintained a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.75 and first place ranking in the previous and current grades.The ranking process incorporates scores in Eighth and 10th Grade National Examinations. A copy of the latest transcript in progress or grade report must be submitted together with the application form.

3. Provide a personal letter stating that he/she is attending high school education under financial hardship and, hence, can't continue his/her education without external support. Priority will be given to those applicants who adequately prove that their parents or other family members have no resources and can't fully support their needs. The validity of such claims will be verified, directly and indirectly.

4. In addition to academic merits and financial needs, female applicants and those who have volunteered for community service such as HIV/AIDS Awareness Education programs, Adult Literacy Campaigns, Reforestation/Environmental Protection Campaigns, Promotion of local culture, or other related public services in the past will receive special considerations in the selection process.

Selection Procedure

Eligible candidates will be nominated by local committees set up in each high school from the school administrators and teachers.
