Program accomplishments

• HOUSING: BRIDGES TO COMMUNITY BUILDS STURDY CONCRETE-AND-CINDERBLOCK HOMES THAT EARTHQUAKE- AND FIRE-RESISTANT AND ARE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND HEAVY TROPICAL WINDS AND RAIN.

WE WORK TO SECURE LAND TITLES FOR PROSPECTIVE HOME OWNERS SO THAT EACH FAMILY WILL HAVE GOOD OWNERSHIP OF A PLACE TO CALL THEIR OWN FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
  Expenses $269,166
• EDUCATION: THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDING FOR 9 YOUNG ADULTS FROM OUR PARTNER COMMUNITIES, COVERING COSTS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, ENROLLMENT FEES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, A MODEST FOOD STIPEND, THESIS EXPENSES, AND GRADUATION FEES. IN ADDITION TO FINANCIAL SUPPORT, THE PROGRAM TRACKS SCHOLARS' ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND INVOLVES THEM IN CULTURAL EXCHANGES WITH BTC VOLUNTEER GROUPS. THROUGH THESE INTERACTIONS, SCHOLARS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE, PROMOTE COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND SERVE AS ROLE MODELS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES FACED BY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES IN BRIDGES' PARTNER COMMUNITIES. WHILE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES OFFER TUITION-FREE EDUCATION, STUDENTS FROM REMOTE AREAS FACE HIGH TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO REACH CAMPUSES IN SAN JUAN. MANY CANNOT AFFORD THE FREQUENT TRAVEL, AND THOSE WHO DO ENROLL OFTEN LIMIT THEIR COURSES TO ATTEND ONLY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, EXTENDING THE TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE THEIR DEGREES AND COMPOUNDING BARRIERS TO THEIR EDUCATION AND FUTURE SUCCESS. THE BRIDGES TO COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM SEEKS TO ALLEVIATE THESE FINANCIAL BURDENS, EMPOWERING MOTIVATED STUDENTS TO PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION AND IMPROVE THEIR EARNING POTENTIAL, FAMILY WELL-BEING, AND PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
