Bridge Fellowship Program Benefits

1. Fellows will receive professional mentorship that will support career decisions and growth trajectory.
2. Fellows will also have access to a network of professionals across diverse fields who provide internship opportunities, seed funding and employment opportunities.

Financial Aid

1. Upon admission, every TBP 2021 cohort member gets an automatic 50% financial aid in fees support. Hence, selected applicants have to pay the 50% balance of 150,000 (Naira). However, they realize this could pose as a challenge to a few, so they created another small pool of funding to ease the financial burden on selected applicants.
