Dear Vincent Oragwam and students,

 

We are actively working to let everyone know that our University of Chicago HBCU-HSI Bridge Scholarship
NOMINATIONS are now open for 2019-20.  This is a full tuition opportunity for outstanding seniors or recently
graduated students, who would like to receive academic training (research, internships) at the University of
Chicago, to explore a new field of study or gain deeper knowledge of academic subject areas from the
undergraduate level.  This opportunity will allow students to closely work with world renowned faculty who
will mentor our Bridge Scholars towards their academic paths. The ultimate goal is for Bridge Scholars to be
confident to apply to top graduate institutions for MA or PhD programs, after the Bridge Scholarship
experience.   

 

Our next Bridge Scholarship Online Informational Webinar (with a few scholarship alumni in attendance) will
be:

 

Wednesday, January 23, 2019 at 12:00 PM until 01:00 PM

 

And here is the RSVP link:  https://apply-graham.uchicago.edu/register/HBCUHSI2019-2020Webinar3

 

 

Our final Bridge Scholarship Online Informational Webinar (with a few scholarship alumni in attendance) will
be:

 

Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 12:00 PM until 01:00 PM

 

And here is the RSVP link:  https://apply-graham.uchicago.edu/register/HBCU-HSI.InfoSession4

 

 

Please encourage interested faculty and students to attend.

 

You will hear from current and past Bridge Scholars who will share their experiences that might be helpful to
your students.

 

Please circulate this information to all HBCU and HSI schools and their faculty, administration and students
who could benefit from this scholarship opportunity.  We hope very much that this opportunity will encourage
faculty and administration to seriously consider nominating their students for our Scholarship.
