Bridge Program Success Incentive

The Bridge Program welcomes you to AUM!
We are excited to work with you as you take your first steps to earning your Bachelor’s degree!

Welcome to AUM!

Bridge Program Success Incentive

AUM is committed to making the cost of higher education more affordable to students in Alabama. To help lower costs for Bridge Program students, the university is offering the Bridge College Success Incentive to students starting their college education in Summer or Fall 2024.

Students who earn this Bridge College Success Incentive will be awarded a $500 stipend that can be applied toward Fall 2024 tuition and fees or on-campus housing. Each student can choose where they want to apply the incentive.

This incentive is designed to help you actively organize and fulfill the initial responsibilities of a successful college student. Learning to organize yourself, follow through with expectations, and communicate effectively are key strategies for succeeding in college.

Students may earn a second $500 incentive, for spring 2025, by completing a different set of benchmarks during the fall semester. These requirements will be shared with you during the first week of fall classes.
