Across the world, young people have been dynamic and effective architects in the actualization of innovative changes across the world and they have continued to be at the forefront of driving society towards a more sustainable world. We want Nigerian young people to be a part of this global wave.
The Pistis Young Scholars Program will mentor a select group of Fellows each year, focusing on global leadership, intellectual development, character and service.
According to the latest estimates, there are more than 1.2 billion young people aged 13 to 24 years, accounting for 16 per cent of the global population. PYSP was established to develop this segment of the population and expose them to valuable information and networks.
The program will offer exciting opportunities for exceptional young students to advance their academic pursuit through mentoring and peer networking. The program also provides an opportunity for gifted students to become future thought leaders in their chosen field.
To bring together exceptional school students who are very innovative and gifted under a platform to provide educational experiences
Prepare young scholars for the unfolding future where sustainability will be an integral part of human civilization
To provide funding for the best young scholars to design and implement novel sustainability projects in their schools, cities and communities.
We achieve all these via formal and informal learning; career acceleration; leadership and mentoring for them: while breeding deeper levels of interaction among them to enhance cultural tolerance for nation building and inter-generational learning.
The Pistis Young Scholars Program is a student-centred program that seeks to continually develop and nurture talented young individuals by providing opportunities and experiences that enable them to demonstrate the ideals of character, achievement, service, and leadership in a global community.
To promote the ideals of academic achievement, character development, service, and leadership among secondary school students. To reward meritorious achievement and to encourage and support students to attain their highest potentials in intellectual and personal development.
We intend to use this program to provide a suitable platform for fellows to design and implement innovative ideas for the future.
