Bridges to Higher Education (Bridges) is a partnership of five Sydney universities working with schools and communities to improve the participation of students from disadvantaged communities in higher education.
Bridges aims to equip students, their families, school staff and community groups with tools and information so school leavers and others can make informed decisions about their future.
