" The Bridges Program really helped to diminish my apprehension about attending a university. During the summer intersession, I had the opportunity to meet other future & current K-State students, as well as become familiar with the campus. The internship allowed me to establish relationships with professors & learn about scientific research while earning financial assistance!"

"The main benefit about the Bridges Program experience was the gradual introduction of the imense magnitude a university environment such as K-State can be. The connections that you make with people, as well as the familiarity of the campus, is something that definitely helped me 'bridge' or transition from the much different environment that a community college provides. In my opinion the Bridges Program is an exceptional program that is definitely optimal for transfer students."

"Bridges makes me feel like someone believes in my potential and capability and is willing to give me a hand to make my dreams become a reality."
