The transition to college is often overwhelming. That is especially true for low-income and first-generation students whose access to the opportunities that help young people thrive may have been limited. Summer Bridge is a program at Northern Vermont University that is trying to change that.
Our recently published 2016 Annual Report highlights what all of us - fundholders, professional advisors, nonprofits, community members, and the Foundation - accomplished working together this past year.
