The Bridge Scholarship Program
NACME has identified Bridge Programs – university-hosted college preparatory camps – for first-time students admitted to a four-year engineering or computer science program. Summer seminars in math and science held before the first semester of college help facilitate adjustment to university life, improve academic performance, and enhance graduation rates.
Join NACME in dramatically increasing the five-year graduation rates of our nation’s talent in STEM by supporting our National Bridge Program—designed to increase Bridge enrollment by 25%. This one-time gift will cover bridge fees for enrolling participants, support students across the span of their academic career, and enhance the graduation rates of students in high-demand STEM fields.
