The Bridge Scholarship aims to provide intelligent but indigent students in Africa with access to quality education, irrespective of their socio-economic limitations. Our approach is holistic and humane.
The scholarship covers educational expenses, mentorship, and career development. The scholarship is offered annually, and once awarded, the scholar is supported until graduation.
Post graduation, our scholars are offered transitional assistance to launch a successful career.
