4 Ways to Invite a Friend to BYU-Pathway
How has your experience with BYU-Pathway Worldwide impacted your life? Or, if you are just getting started, why is getting an education important to you? Education is an investment that changes lives, so invite a friend to join with you!
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “My dear friends, take advantage of this opportunity to prayerfully invite someone you know to come and see by joining BYU-Pathway Worldwide for this coming semester.”1 By extending the invitation to start BYU-Pathway, you are opening doors of opportunity for your friends. Try sharing BYU-Pathway with your loved ones with one of these four simple tips!
Speak to them personally
Nothing is better than getting a personal text or call from a close friend or family member. After considering which of your loved ones could benefit from higher education, reach out to them and share your experience. Be sure to share the ways BYU-Pathway has blessed you, or what you’re most excited about, if you haven’t started yet.
Savannah Goodman, a PathwayConnect student, decided to invite her friend Ashlynn to start BYU-Pathway with her. Savannah has never regretted this decision. She said, “Ashlynn comes over now and we work on homework. It is great! I have a set time to do my classes, and I don’t put it off.”
Having a friend by your side can motivate you to stay productive and accountable. Speaking personally to a friend about joining BYU-Pathway could be the start of your successful educational journey together.
Post on social media
Posting on social media is a great way to reach many of your friends at once! These resources make sharing on facebook and Instagram easy. You can choose from a variety of images and videos to send to a specific friend or to post on your personal profile. Remember to tag @BYUPathwayWorldwide when posting.
Talk about what you are learning
Sometimes friends and family may need some time before deciding to take the step to begin or return to their education. A good, straightforward way to encourage your loved ones is to talk about what you are learning. When they see how much you are learning and how it is improving your life, they will be more likely to start on their own educational path.

I will love to invite friends to benefit from this wonderful program. Is it available only to members of the Church?
I have told many about BYU-Pathway. Some are willing to enter, but other things try to hold them back. Some will say that they do not have computer to start now.
This is the true gospel and the true education.
It is just a right thing to do for some one to get a education for a very low cost.
Hi there. When is the next registration?
New BYU-Pathway terms start every January, April, and September. Visit byupathway.org/admissions to view application deadlines and to apply!
