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.
