Acceptance season is upon us!
It’s an exciting time of the year. This is when high school seniors check the mail box (ok, so more often their inboxes these days) to learn whether or not they’ve been accepted to their post-secondary schools of choice.
It’s nerve-wrecking, of course, but as is often the case, very exciting. So, in that spirit, we wanted to share some of the early thrilling schools Bridges students are hearing yes from.
We’ve proud to report Stanford University, University of Michigan, Georgetown University, Rice University and Elon University all welcoming Taos county students to their ranks, along with excellent in-state and regional options like the University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Highlands University and Pueblo Community College.
For many of our students, these acceptances represent something entirely new in their families: Proof that college is possible, attainable, and worth reaching for.
And this is just the beginning.
Over the next few months, more decisions will be released, and in the meantime Bridges counselors are deep in the most intensive phase of the process: Helping students apply for scholarships, guiding families through complex financial aid packages and making sure every required step for enrollment is completed so that acceptance turns into attendance.
This is where our work matters most, and where your support has the greatest impact.
A gift to Bridges right now directly supports the hands-on, individualized counseling that helps students choose the right school, afford it, and arrive on campus prepared and confident. These moments of transition are fragile, and having a trusted guide makes all the difference.
Thank you for believing in our students and for helping ensure that opportunity doesn’t stop at the acceptance letter.
With gratitude,
Hannah
