The Bridge Scholarship Award

In pursuit of our vision, we provide access to higher education for members of the community who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals.

The Bridge Scholarship Award is a scholarship given yearly to a minority student graduating from Jenkins County High School. As we celebrate year 10 of our scholarship, the 2026 scholarship provides one student with a $5,000 monetary gift and a new laptop computer.
