Abaco
Pathfinders Scholarship Foundation was conceived and developed by a
number of residents and businessmen of Hope Town in 2001. Our goal is to
provide funds to enable deserving students from the Abaco islands to
continue their education after high school. For some, this may be
financial help needed to go to college. However, recognizing the need
for skilled workers in the islands, we hope to also give economic
assistance to those who wish to attend vocational schools as well.
In ten short years, we have helped send over 130 of Abaco’s youth
to college. Our scholarships are given without regard to race, religion
or country of origin, and are based on merit, desire and need. These
young people are active in their communities and come highly
recommended. They go through a rigorous interview process and are truly
worthy of assistance.
Many of our students have returned to the Bahamas and are employed
as teachers, lawyers, dentists, doctors, counsellors and many other
professions. It is our privilege to assist students, many of whom
without assistance, may not be able to go to college. We believe in a
good education and believe that it does not only change that person, but
generations.
