Connections – The Campaign for Bridgewater College

The greatest possibilities in life are realized in what we build together. We are building support of an education that prepares students to be courageous, adventurous and necessary in the world—and are extending the promise of community to students of all backgrounds.  

With this campaign—together as alumni, family and friends—we share the true meaning of connections.

Bridgewater Fund

Each year, Bridgewater College asks alumni, students, family members, friends, faculty and staff to show their Bridgewater pride by making a gift to the Bridgewater Fund. These gifts support the College’s greatest needs to enhance the educational experience beyond what tuition and fees can cover.
