What does the Pathways Application process entail?

To apply, interested students must complete our 2026 Pathways program application. The application takes about 10 minutes to complete, and will confirm your program eligibility as well as collect additional information about you. Please note that the application must be completed by the student, not a parent/guardian or school administrator.

We highly encourage students to complete their application in one sitting. Through Pathways, we aim to make computer science opportunities more accessible to students with a wide range of backgrounds – so this application is designed to be short and simple! We do not collect essays, projects, or additional written materials from applicants.

Applicants can view a step-by-step walkthrough of the Pathways Application. There, you will find important notices and tips for successfully submitting your application.
