Things were looking up for Grace Ninsiima, a single mother of four from Uganda. After escaping a toxic marriage, she had found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and started an online bachelor’s degree from Ensign College through BYU-Pathway Worldwide.
In an October 2022 meeting with donors, President Brian K. Ashton said, “To properly support our students, we must complement everything we’ve already done [with curriculum and scholarships] by finding them jobs.”
In 2012, Scott Spendlove was serving as a stake president in San Antonio, Texas, when he was invited to a meeting to learn about an education program from BYU-Idaho that was coming to his area: Pathway.
Beginning in April 2024, BYU-Idaho and Ensign College are offering three-year online bachelor’s degrees exclusively through BYU-Pathway Worldwide.
By 2023, nearly two-thirds of BYU-Pathway students lived outside the United States and Canada, and Ghana had 2,849 students, the third-largest international enrollment.
