Purpose of the Scholarship

The AYBS Alumni Association Scholarship Program was established to support students of Bethel Mekane Yesus School who demonstrate strong academic ability and commitment but face financial challenges that may affect their ability to continue their education.

Through the generous support of alumni and other donors, the program seeks to remove financial barriers to education and give deserving students the opportunity to continue their studies, reach their full potential, and develop into capable and responsible future leaders.

The program is administered by the AYBS Alumni Association, with scholarships funded by individual alumni, families, foundations, organizations, and other supporters. Regardless of the source of funding, recipients are selected through a common application and review process administered by the AYBS Alumni Association in collaboration with Bethel Mekane Yesus School.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible, applicants must:

  • ✓ Be currently enrolled at Bethel Mekane Yesus School in Grade 7 through Grade 12
  • ✓ Demonstrate financial need for educational assistance
  • ✓ Demonstrate satisfactory academic performance and commitment to their studies
  • ✓ Show positive involvement in the school or wider community (community service, leadership, clubs, sports, or other extracurricular activities)
  • ✓ Demonstrate responsibility, perseverance, good character, and commitment to personal growth

Scholarship Coverage

Each scholarship provides comprehensive educational support for one academic year, including:

  • ✓ Full tuition
  • ✓ Required textbooks and books

Number of Scholarships

Up to five students may be selected to receive scholarships under the AYBS Alumni Association Scholarship Program for Grades 7–12.

  • ✓ Remains enrolled at Bethel Mekane Yesus School
  • ✓ Continues to demonstrate financial need
  • ✓ Maintains satisfactory academic progress
  • ✓ Remains in good standing with the school

Renewal is subject to annual review by the AYBS Alumni Association. If a recipient no longer meets the requirements or leaves the school, the scholarship may be made available to another eligible student.

Selection Process

The AYBS Alumni Association will review eligible applications and select scholarship recipients based on:

  • ✓ Financial need
  • ✓ Academic performance and effort
  • ✓ Character and personal circumstances
  • ✓ School and community involvement
  • ✓ Leadership, extracurricular activities, or sports participation

BMYS students — investing in the next generation of women leaders
Our Scholarship Program

An investment in a student's potential.

Our scholarship program provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and financial need.

Every student has dreams for her future. Your support can help a talented young woman remain in school, access a high-quality Christian education, and continue her journey toward a brighter future for herself, her family, and her community.

A scholarship is more than financial assistance—it is an investment in a student's potential. It provides hope, opens doors to opportunity, and empowers the next generation of women to lead with knowledge, faith, integrity, and compassion.

  • ✓ Leadership potential and community involvement
  • ✓ Additional requirements specific to individual scholarship funds
Application Process
