STUDENT GRANTS

One way BRIDGE invests the proceeds from donations and fundraisers is by monetarily supporting high school students in the community. BRIDGE provides grants that bring great ideas and plans to life. 

​​

  • Student grants can help students prepare for life beyond high school (i.e. tools needed to start a career in the trades, apprentice program fees/college application fees, entrepreneurship,  etc...). 

​

Funding for all grants are made possible by monetary donations made to BRIDGE, and by the proceeds from our fundraisers.  Types of grants and monetary amounts are allocated during the summer of the upcoming school year.  Students should check this webpage to find what grant(s) are available as well as the application open/close dates and eligibility.
