2 0 An education is one of the greatest influences on career attainment and personal fulfillment throughout life. A TFS education, in particular, informs all facets of life and is broadly felt by our alumni over the course of their lives. The TFS community understands the enduring value of the TFS experience and believes in extending such an opportunity to academically strong students who would otherwise be unable to attend TFS. Since 2016, TFS has welcomed eight exceptional young scholars to the TFS community through the TFS Entrance Scholarship program. This program provides full-tuition scholarships to high-achieving students entering grade 7 or above whose families do not have the financial apacity to enrol their children at TFS. Scholarship students enhance and enrich the learning experience for all TFS students through shared experiences and unique perspectives. For recipients, a TFS education offers a rigo ous international multilingual education and a potentially life-altering opportunity. "The TFS Entrance Scholarship program has been shaped by our school's mission—to develop multilingual critical thinkers who celebrate difference, transcend borders and strive for the betterment of humankind. Our mission leads to our belief in equity in education. To some, it refers to finances while to others it refers to a systemic shift towards genuine inclusion. TFS has always been a place where such cultural phenomena begin, and it begins by extending accessible education opportunities to promising kids."
