Our Philosophy

Many believe education is the foundation for societal progress, personal growth, and individual empowerment. It is often described as unlocking doors to better opportunities and a more fulfilling life. Nelson Mandela famously said, ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,’ highlighting its transformative potential.

The idea that learning should continue throughout life, rather than being confined to formal schooling, is widely held. Education empowers individuals by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities necessary to navigate the world and achieve their goals. It can be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, exploring new ideas, and broadening horizons. It also contributes to a more informed, just, and sustainable world by fostering critical thinking, empathy, and civic engagement.

In an ideal world, education should be a ‘right’, not a ‘privilege’. Sadly, many people are denied the opportunity to pursue a higher education due to financial restraints. Money should never be an obstacle to learning but it often is.

The GemQuest High Performance Gemmological Scholarship program levels the playing field by removing the financial barriers. It is not about the ‘ability to pay’ but more about an individual’s academic ability. Its goal is simple, to reward those students who work hard and excel in their studies. The harder you work and the more dedicated you are to your studies, the greater the reward.

Acceptance into the ‘GemQuest High Performance’ scholarship program is guaranteed provided applicants legally reside in one of the the zones where the scholarship program is offered, and submit their application and payment before the scholarship allocations in that area are filled.

We chose the World Gem Foundation because we not only share the same philosophy regarding gemmological education but also because we believe they offer the most comprehensive courses and programs in the science of gemmology.

There has never been a better time to start your gemmological journey and pursue a career in the fascinating world of gemstones.
