Thank you for supporting Give to Blue Day!

Bridge the Gap Scholarships

Bridge the Gap Scholarships directly support those who need it most: academically motivated students who are unable to register for classes the next semester due to financial constraints. These need-based scholarships allow students in good academic standing the ability to continue their studies, providing each recipient the opportunity to earn a degree that they may have never been able to achieve without this support. Your gift can help Sycamores make it to the finish line.
