BRIDGES students come from diverse backgrounds, but they share common goals: To find a community of supportive and like-minded friends on campus who aid you in your transition to the university and to go on to do great things after graduation.
That’s what BRIDGES is here for. We connect students to each other, campus leaders, resources and opportunities, professional networks, and build leaders with the skills for lifelong success.

BRIDGES is a program for scholarship and grant recipients in the Dietrich School with a focus on students from underrepresented backgrounds. Certain scholarship and grant recipients are invited to join via mail and e-mail prior to the start of their first term. However, if you are a University of Pittsburgh student enrolled in the Dietrich School who has received a scholarship or grant and are interested in the program but have not received an invitation, please contact bridges.as@pitt.edu.
BRIDGES means building relationships, inspiring diversity, and generating excellence in scholarship.
