Programs

Scholarships are accessible to more students than what is commonly believed. And here is the most important thing: scholarships can be a game changer for a student's career, their financial well-being, and their or their family's bank account. 

Without exaggeration, scholarships have the ability to transform lives and careers. This presentation will help empower attendees with information to find and win scholarships.

Christopher Grafos, Ph.D., is the founder and chief scholarship mentor at BridgesEDU Scholarships. He's a first-generation university graduate whose life was transformed by education and winning scholarships. 

Scholarships help students financially, but they also help advance a student's career. His life work is to champion this message and share the secrets to finding and winning scholarships.
