In many ancient cultures the lotus flower was a symbol of purity, enlightenment and transformation. The lotus flower’s unique botanical structure contains buds, blossoms, and seed pods, which symbolically represent the past, present, and future. The LOTUS Scholarship Program respects and celebrates history, traditions, cultures and diversity, and will provide knowledge, skills, and opportunities in the present that will enlighten and transform talented students into future leaders and advocates for development and progress in Egypt.
