Bridging the Equity Gap Scholarship (BTEG)

Overview
Through an intercultural cohort model, the Bridging the Equity Gap Scholarship Program (Bridge Scholars) is a last dollar* scholarship program that provides an educational experience focused on exploring Black and Indigenous perspectives and cultures. It is open to all students who choose to apply. Through academic, social, and cultural support, students will be equipped with a quality education and the tools to see greatness in themselves, others, and the greater community.

* Last Dollar scholarships close financial gaps by paying college bills that are not covered by federal and state grants such as Pell, SEOG, MN Grant, MN Dream Act and North Star Promise. Additionally, other scholarship awards generally pay prior to using last dollar awards.
