We are proud to announce our nominees for the 43rd Annual Pathfinder High School Scholarship Awards Program, one of the most prestigious and comprehensive scholarship programs in the state of Florida. The Pathfinder Awards recognize academic achievement, leadership, and talent among high school seniors in Palm Beach and Martin counties. Each year, 54 scholarships are awarded to the best and brightest students in the region.
This program reflects a core belief: in a complex and rapidly changing world, education is the key to excellence, growth, and creativity. Communities thrive when led by individuals with foresight and the ability to solve problems—qualities nurtured through education.
The symbol of the Pathfinder Scholarship is the astrolabe, an ancient nautical instrument used to navigate by the stars. Just as sailors relied on the astrolabe to chart their course, the knowledge and skills gained through education will guide these nominees toward success and leadership in the future.
