Microsoft Elevate Pathfinder Application Closed Despite Year-Round Availability

Question

Our school, Riyadh Schools – Hittin, Saudi Arabia, is currently registered as a Microsoft Elevate School Member.

We would like to apply for the Microsoft Elevate Pathfinder School tier. However, our school dashboard states that the “2026 Pathfinder School applications closed on September 26, 2026,” and the “Become a Pathfinder school” button is disabled.

At the same time, the official Microsoft Learn Education Programs page states that the Microsoft Elevate School Pathfinder tier is a “year-round offer” and that new schools can apply now.

Could you please advise how we can submit our Pathfinder application this year, or direct us to the appropriate Microsoft Elevate School support team?

We are ready to proceed with the application and would greatly appreciate your support.
