This scholarship provides a $2,500 award to three high school seniors with a desire to pursue higher education. The scholarships will be awarded to BIPOC students (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) in area high schools to assist with the cost of attending a post-secondary institution. The Enact | Bridge to Excellence Scholarship and optional mentorship programs were designed to support students who demonstrate a strong desire to overcome the challenges of being a first-year college student. Our goal is to diversify the talent pipeline for colleges and universities.
