## What is Bright Pathway?

The college and scholarship journey has a hundred deadlines — and missing one can cost your family thousands. Bright Pathway puts every important Arkansas date on your phone, with reminders that reach you before it's too late.

Built by Amber Bartolotta, a licensed counselor (M.Ed.) with 20 years in education, Bright Pathway is the companion app for Arkansas families navigating grades 9-12.

EVERY ARKANSAS DEADLINE, ONE TIMELINE
• Application and scholarship deadlines for every major Arkansas college
• State programs including the Academic Challenge Scholarship and Governor's Distinguished Scholarship
• FAFSA, Common App, PSAT, and National Decision Day anchors
• A directory covering every 4-year and 2-year college in Arkansas

REMINDERS ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
Flip a switch on any deadline and we'll remind you 7 days and 1 day before — right on your phone. No account needed, nothing leaves your device.

YOUR STUDENT'S GRADE JOURNEY
Pick your student's grade and get their four biggest milestones for the year, straight from a counselor's desk. Check them off as your family completes them and watch your star travel the golden path.

MEMBER LIBRARY
Enrolled families can log in and open their full curriculum — The Scholarship System, College Admissions Mapping, Financial Aid Clarity, and Exam Readiness workbooks — right inside the app.

DAILY COUNSELOR TIPS
A new piece of practical advice from Amber's desk every day.

ARKANSAS EFA FAMILIES
Our Grades 9-12 curriculum is structured to meet Arkansas EFA guidelines — eligible families pay $0 out of pocket through ClassWallet. Learn more at brightpathwayacademy.com.

Your student's path to college is brighter with a plan.
