Bridge for Kids Program

Bridge for Kids program aims to help sponsor students in need.

We are looking for students that are free or reduced lunch eligible, have a solid GPA, are in 9th-11th grade, and have a barrier or hardship (first generation, low income, etc.) that is keeping them from accomplishing their goals/dreams.

The program is looking to sponsor students for up to $1500 a year.

Applications are due by the 12th as Bridge for Kids will be interviewing the students on the 18th.

Thank you,
