Announcing our Mastery One-to-One 2026 Scholarship Winner!

We are thrilled to share that Alícia Nunes has been selected as this year's recipient of the Sapiente Mastery Scholarship.

At just 16, Alícia built a mental health app during the pandemic. Today, she's a Computer Engineering student, a Harvard CS50x certificate holder, President of her university's science olympiad hub, and a recognized researcher.

Through the Mastery One-to-One programme, she'll spend the next 3–4 months working closely with an expert mentor, developing, writing, and presenting an original research paper that could be published in a scientific journal.

This is what happens when opportunity meets the right person.

Congratulations, Alícia; we are rooting for you every step of the way!

Choosing the right opportunities for a student’s future can feel overwhelming today.

That’s why this webinar with Education Resources Network has been designed to give students and parents direct access to experts in:

What does it mean to remain human in the age of artificial intelligence?

Sapiente Education CEO Max Patacchiola recently attended the Human Economic Forum initiative dedicated to the human consequences of conflict and Magnifica Humanitas in Rome, where leading academics, entrepreneurs, and representatives of the Catholic Church came together to discuss Pope Leo XIV's latest Encyclical and its reflections on AI, ethics, human dignity, and society.

The event featured speakers from organisations including UNESCO, the University of Oxford, the University of Tuscia, Roma Tre University, the Acton Institute, and the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.

The discussions explored how technological progress can be guided by ethical principles, ensuring that innovation strengthens rather than diminishes our humanity.

A fascinating and timely conversation about the future we are building together.
