Why Families Choose Us
Experience You Can Trust.
Our advice doesn’t come from theory alone. It comes from living the journey ourselves, overcoming the obstacles, and helping others avoid the same uncertainty.
We’ve Walked This Journey
We aren’t simply consultants—we’re former international students who personally navigated admissions, transfer credits, immigration preparation, and university life in the United States.
International Perspective
Our journey began in Jamaica and continued in the United States. We understand the challenges, questions, and uncertainties international students face because we’ve experienced them ourselves.
Proven Academic Success
Britney successfully transferred the majority of her university credits and graduated with Honors from Western Connecticut State University while building professional experience in Human Resources.
Guidance With Integrity
Every recommendation we give is rooted in honesty, transparency, and what’s genuinely best for each student’s future—not what’s easiest.
Personalized Planning
No two students are alike. Every roadmap is tailored to your academic goals, transfer situation, financial considerations, and career aspirations.

Our Story Didn’t End at Graduation. It Began There.
Global Scholars Pathway Advisors was born from our own journey — from Jamaica, through uncertainty, research, faith, transfer planning, graduation, and the desire to help future students walk the road with greater confidence.
Why We Started
We understand the journey because we lived it.
Dwayne always carried the dream of international education, but like many students, he did not have the personalized guidance needed to make that path clear.
Britney began her studies at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean in Jamaica. Together, after marriage, research, applications, transfer planning, and relocation, she completed her degree in the United States with honors.
“Students don’t simply need information. They need guidance, encouragement, and someone who understands the road.”
— Dwayne & Britney Thompson
