Prison-to-Professionals, Howard University & Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) P2P HOWARD UNIVERSITY & BALTIMORE CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE partners to Launch Bridges to Baccalaureate Program (T34).
The Bridges to the Baccalaureate program (B2B) aims to change the face of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by supporting under-represented minority students as they complete their associate’s degree and transfer to a four-year institution to earn their Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM field. Training grants offset the tuition, fees, and training-related expenses, including health insurance, for the appointed trainees in accordance with the approved NIH support levels. Training grants are usually awarded for five years and are renewable. Full details are found in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PAR-22-125.
The “Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program at Howard University and Baltimore City Community College” program is a creative STEM training program that provides educational readiness by P2P. Each scholar will transition to a 2-year associate granting school (BCCC), and be provided with skills and methods development. At the same time, at BCCC, they participate in a 10-week STEM research internship at Howard University in the summer between years 1 and 2, then transition to a 4-year school, upon completing their associate’s degree at BCCC.
The very first Bridges to Baccalaureate Cohort will begin full-time studies at BCCC on January 11, 2023: Rosie Butts, Henry Goldberg, Jacob Maynard & Amber Monsky.
