High Bridge Foundation, Inc., a newly-organized non-profit organization based in Bowie, MD, is pleased to offer five (5) scholarships each valued at $1,000 to deserving high school graduates from area high schools for the 2013-2014 school year.

High Bridge Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit, tax exempt organization established by Ernie and Mencie Hairston in 2012. Dr. and Mrs. Hairston are life-long supporters of youth programs that address the needs of young people, especially those with disabilities and life challenges, who may not have easy access to scholarship information and funding. As recipients of scholarships during their student days, Dr. and Mrs. Hairston are aware that a scholarship is more than just free money -- it is a donor’s financial investment in a student’s potential to succeed and to give back to the community as well.
