Who Do We Help?
Pathways Scholars
Pathways-Ateneo helps deserving but marginalized public school students in Marikina and Quezon City. Our satellite offices, strategically located in all major regions in the country such as Baguio in Northern Luzon, Bulacan in Central Luzon, Iloilo in the Visayas and South Cotabato in Mindanao, help provide opportunites to access higher education for public high school students in their respective areas.
Our programs are done with the help of Pathways youth groups (PYG) (PLEASE INCLUDE LINK TO BLOG ABOUT PYGS) in as many as 40 colleges and universities which conduct activities geared towards helping the financially underprivileged but deserving students enter college.
To be able to select students who are academically competitive yet financially underprivileged, Pathways follows a set of screening criteria for its participants. There are two (2) components:
- Assessment of the students’ qualifications in terms of aptitude and academic achievements as well as personal values and character
- Determine their respective families’ socio-economic condition and willingness to support the children’s education.
For this program year, Pathways has focused on picking scholars from our target schools in Marikina and certain parts of Quezon City. For our regional offices, participants are selected from the nearby schools in the area.
It is the aim of Pathways to further expand this program and one day be able to help all deserving students achieve their dreams through education.
