Student Story

A short testimony from one of our students.

JA
“Before BYU Pathway, earning an international degree in tech felt impossible. Today, I’m studying Software Development and building a future I once only imagined. BYU Pathway didn’t just give me education — it gave me confidence, direction, and hope. It reminded me that my background is not a barrier and my dreams are achievable.”

Jeffrey Akanama

Software Development Student
