Scholarship Fund
Money for College awarded each year!

Committed to the future of our children, the Bridgemen Alumni Association has formed the Scholarship Fund to help them reach their potential.

Alumni dues and fundraisers go toward raising the capital to give to deserving teens heading to college. We will be awarding three $500 Scholarships each year to a part of our extended Bridgemen Family! Scholarships are awarded in memory of Ed Holmes, Bobby Hoffman, and Monsignor Donovan: key figures in the history of our Organization.
