[The Source] New from Scholar Fund

That's right, we're coming in fresh! New logo, new releases!

Hey there, knowledge seekers and community champions! We're thrilled to unveil Scholar Fund's new emblem (designed by Isabela Montalvo), and let us tell you, it's more than just a logo—it's a blossoming symbol of growth, care, and inspiration!

Take a peek, and you'll behold our iconic graduation cap sprouting up from two vibrant leaves, radiating with the promise of empowerment and abundance. Look closer, and you'll see that the cap resembles a blooming flower and the leaves become nurturing hands. We are powered by our connections to each other and our belief in a better world. We are rooted by our dreams for everyone to flourish.

But hold onto your thinking caps because there's another layer to this design! If you look at it again, you might be able to see how it becomes a 3-D cube, symbolizing our organization's expertise in harnessing technology to connect communities with opportunities and resources!

So, whether you're a student reaching for the stars, a community member seeking support, or an organizational partner ready to innovate with us, our new logo stands as a beacon of growth, connectivity, and endless possibilities! Join us as we continue to cultivate knowledge, nurture relationships, and bloom brighter together!
