Documents you'll need
You can start the application without these and upload them later from the portal, but we cannot make a decision until all five are in. Gathering them first saves you a second trip.
- Proof of identity. A passport, national ID, or birth certificate for the student.
- Proof of residence. A recent utility bill, lease, or government letter showing the family's current address.
- Official school transcript. The most recent transcript from the student's current or previous school.
- Character reference. A short reference from a community leader who knows the student: a pastor, coach, teacher, or mentor outside the family. The student requests this and uploads it.
- Personal essay. Written by the student, in their own words, on why they want to study at Global Pathways Academy. There is no required length; one page is plenty.
If a document is unavailable
If you cannot obtain proof of identity, proof of residence, or an official transcript, you may submit a signed affidavit in its place. Affidavit templates are provided inside the application at the step where each document is requested.
The character reference and personal essay are required for every applicant and cannot be replaced by an affidavit.
