To continue my studies

Answer:

Hello! 🎄✨ Happy (very belated 😅) Christmas and New Year to you too — I hope both were peaceful and joyful!

To your question: you're in Form 2, right? That’s awesome — starting early with dreams of studying abroad is such a strong move.

Now, about fully funded scholarships for secondary school students to study abroad — yes, there are opportunities, but they’re more limited and very competitive. Most are for high-achieving students with leadership potential, and often from underrepresented or low-income backgrounds. Here's a breakdown for you:

• Get involved in community service.
• Improve your English and writing skills — important for applications.
• Talk to a teacher or school counselor who can support you when you start applying.

If you tell me where you’re from, I can check if your country has UWC or YES program opportunities specifically for you!
