BRIDGE understands that an apartment with affordable rent is a stepping stone for advancement, and that education has the power to transform people and communities. In that spirit, BRIDGE created a special business and accounting scholarship for residents in honor of Kent L. Colwell, a longtime friend and Board member who passed away in January 2016. Kent served diligently as Chair of the BRIDGE Audit Committee and as a member of the Finance and Projects committees.

Awardees selected through a competitive process will receive up to $10,000 each for up to four years to use toward tuition, books, childcare and other expenses while pursuing their degree.
