Who Can Apply to Own Your Path?
The selection process for high schoolers relies on Partner Teachers. They identify eligible students in Partner High Schools and start the Recommendation process, as follows:
- Partner teachers identify students who meet the program criteria and submit a Recommendation on the dedicated platform for this process
- Recommendations are reviewed by the Own Your Path team, who analyse the documentation and validate the students’ applications
- Students sign the scholarship contract, committing to adhere to the Program’s participation criteria:
- successful completion of each school year
- 90% attendance at school
- consistent participation in the Program’s activities
