Tunas Harapan Scholarship
The Tunas Harapan Scholarship is a fund provided by Yayasan Kadir dan Fatimah (YKF) for students from our partner schools. Through the Tunas Harapan Scholarship, YKF provides these students with enough funds for them to be able to start school comfortably every year and be able to excel academically. Currently, YKF works with three schools – SK Datin Fatimah, Tong Pelu; SMK Tan Sri Abdul Kadir, Mersing; and SMK Tun Fatimah Hashim, Johor Bharu.
Potential scholars have to meet certain criteria. Among them being a household income of less than RM 3,000 per month, students must be active in extra-curriculars and sports and have a good discipline track record. In addition, students must also not be recipients of other scholarships.
YKF distributes money to most of our scholars in two tranches, the first being in January so that the students can use the money to buy school supplies and the second being a mid-year payment in June. Students from SK Datin Fatimah and SMK Tan Sri Abdul Kadir receiver RM 700 in January and RM 300 in June. Meanwhile, students at SMK Tun Fatimah Hashim receive the full scholarship payment of RM 1000 at the beginning of each year.
For SK Datin Fatimah, YKF sponsors 12 students with 2 students from Years 2 to 5 and 4 students from Year 6. YKF sponsors 2 students from each form at SMK Tan Sri Abdul Kadir and 1 student per form from SMK Tun Fatimah Hashim.
