The Bridge Learning Community has received a $5,000 donation to assist non-traditional students within the Bridge Learning Community to “defray related transportation costs, such as gas cards and bus passes, and other incidental expenses incurred in supporting student retention.” Diana L. Milock, president of the Begonia Charitable Foundation, said former Bridge student, Rosa Cude, was instrumental in evaluating Bridge for purposes of the grant. “What a surprise, and how honored we are to accept this gift on behalf of our learners, and it should go a long way for some time to bridge the gap in emergency student needs to help them stay in school. Thank you!”
