The Golden Compass Foundation exists to help students navigate one of the biggest journeys of their lives: the road to and through higher education.
Too many capable students lose their way not for lack of talent, but for lack of resources and direction. We started the Golden Compass Foundation to change that, to reward the resilient and the resourceful, and to remind every applicant that they're capable of charting their own course.
Our annual AAARRR Scholarship, the Academic Achievement Award for Resilient and Resourceful Rovers, is a small but meaningful step on that journey.

Recipient each year
We look for students with a clear sense of where they're going and the grit to get there.
No fees and no essays the length of a thesis, just a short application and one honest question.
