Grant Will Boost Community College Transfers at Bryn Mawr

Bryn Mawr College, a highly rated liberal arts college for women in suburban Philadelphia, received a $400,000 grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation for a program that will help women from two community colleges transfer to Bryn Mawr. Under the program, low-income women at the Community College of Philadelphia and Montgomery County Community College will receive assistance, guidance, internships, research opportunities, and mentoring. Some high achieving women at the community colleges will take courses at Bryn Mawr during their second year and be eligible for Bryn Mawr’s junior year study-abroad program.
