Founded through a joint initiative between the Underground Sciences Department and the Royal Family, the scholarship program was conceived as a means to honor Prince Asriel's dedication to monster-human understanding. The program's establishment coincided with the development of the Educational Exchange Program, marking a new era in integrated magical and scientific studies.
The scholarship's founding principles draw direct inspiration from Asriel's own journey and sacrifice, emphasizing the importance of bridging divides between monsters and humans through education and shared understanding. This mission aligns closely with the Frisk Protocol, incorporating its core tenets of peaceful cooperation and cultural exchange into the academic sphere.
Academic Focus and Research Areas
The scholarship program primarily supports research initiatives that explore the intersection of monster and human societies, with particular emphasis on Soul Studies and magical-scientific integration. Recipients are encouraged to pursue projects that contribute to the growing field of monster-human relations, whether through theoretical research or practical applications.
Special consideration is given to projects that advance understanding of soul interactions, paying homage to the unique bond shared between Asriel and the first fallen human. This focus has led to several breakthrough discoveries in the field of Compassionate Magic Theory, a new discipline that examines the role of emotional connection in magical phenomena.
