Al Alfi School Scholarship aims to ensure that exceptional preparatory school students, who prove to have superior intellectual capacities and high academic abilities in STEM, receive the education, encouragement, and support they need to grow into confident and accomplished lifelong learners.
DEO N-Class Scholarship
This partnership involves providing sponsorships to talented students from official language schools and national institute schools who have demonstrated exceptional performance by the end of grade 3. These students are given the opportunity to enroll in the N-class at DEO, which is considered one of the top German schools in Cairo, from grade 4 until their graduation. Currently, Al Alfi Foundation is sponsoring 25 scholars across various grades in the N-class.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Scholarship
In 2013, a partnership between Al Alfi Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Technical Education created the IB Scholarship for gifted students in grade 10 to enroll in the British International School in Cairo (BISC) in grades 11 and 12.
The school is well-known as a vibrant international community offering an outstanding British-style education focused on independent learning and the promotion of global citizenship.
The IB Scholarship targets students from official language schools and national Institute schools who are capable of successfully completing the IB requirements of coursework, formal examinations, and extracurricular activities, thus attaining a globally accepted qualification for entry to higher education.
Because of the pandemic situation, the scholarship was suspended. However, the foundation continues to sponsor the eight recipients of this scholarship in their undergraduate studies.
