Improve access to physics graduate education
You can support physics students by becoming a Bridge Program member and advancing best practices for creating welcoming environments. Then, you can become a Bridge Program partner, broadening physics participation and potentially accepting Bridge students into your graduate program.
Member institutions
Bridge Program member institutions make up a network that shares innovative practices, learns from leaders, and promotes physics for all. Our goal is to ensure that everyone who wants to pursue physics can find their place in the community.
Bridge Program membership is your first step to becoming a partner institution and accepting Bridge Program students.

Partner institutions
Bridge Program partners are members institutions that have demonstrated a strong commitment to fostering a welcoming environment for all students, and are ready to take the next step and potentially accept Bridge Program students.
