About the Elena Cooke Education Fund

The Elena Cooke Education Fund (ECEF) was set up in honour of the late Miss Elena Cooke, the longest serving principal of the Bukit Bintang Girls’ School.

The fund aims to help underprivileged young people, whether they live with their families or were raised in children’s homes and orphanages, to pursue quality education after SPM in local colleges or universities.

SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia), STPM (Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia) and UEC (Unified Examination Certificate) students who have received their examination results are invited to apply for financial assistance via the HELP-Elena Cooke Education Fund (HELP-ECEF) Study Award.
