Bridge

The Bridge program exists to support individuals as they explore opportunities and begin their journey of college and/or career education. We offer one-on-one guidance for each student to help them find the most appropriate program for their goals, prepare them to enter their chosen program, assist with enrollment and securing financial aid, succeed in their coursework, and stay enrolled until a credential is earned.

Re-Engage: Selecting a Path

The first steps in pursuing postsecondary education are to figure out how to get started and how to navigate all the red tape. Students are bombarded with advertisements and opinions about what degree they should choose and what college or program will help them “get a degree fast.” We meet with each student one-on-one to begin the process of aligning the students’ goals with potential opportunities. Enrollment is open to students from all geographic regions and all people with a high school diploma or GED.

Applying: Starting College and Securing Financial Aid

After students have prepared for college, our next step is to offer help with college access. We help each student: apply for admission, complete the financial aid application (FAFSA), complete all additional financial aid paperwork, meet with an academic advisor, register for classes, and get the materials they need to get started. We help students enroll in any college, with the exception of proprietary schools.

Advance: Succeeding in College

Once a student is enrolled in college we offer ongoing support and guidance to help each student continue to succeed. Our goal is to help students access all of the opportunities for support so that they can seek guidance when needed. All students can continue to get assistance from our Education Counselors and tutoring center throughout their college journey. Our goal is that each student gets the best opportunity to advance in college and earn their intended certificate and/or degree.
