About the Foundation
Our Mission
The mission of the Blue Bridge Foundation, Inc. is to actively engage and elevate residents of Prince George’s County, MD and the Metropolitan DC area through scholarships, programs, and strategic partnerships which promote sociocultural, economic, and educational development.
Initiatives + Partnerships
Our initiatives translate the Blue Bridge Foundation’s mission into action. Through educational programs, community partnerships, and student-focused opportunities, we provide resources that help residents of Prince George’s County and the Washington, DC area achieve academic success, build leadership skills, and strengthen their communities.
SAT Preparation (in partnership with the Princeton Review)
Through our new partnership with The Princeton Review, The Blue Bridge Foundation offers students access to high-quality SAT preparation at a discounted rate. Students may choose between a live, instructor-led virtual course with up to 24 hours of interactive instruction, adaptive practice tests, detailed score reports, and a customized syllabus based on student progress, or a self-paced online course ideal for younger students who prefer flexible learning. Both options include 365 days of access to The Princeton Review’s online portal, extensive practice questions and tests, expert video lessons, and college planning tools to help students strengthen their skills, improve their scores, and prepare for the college admissions process.
Annual Prostate Cancer 5K Walk/Run
The Blue Bridge Foundation, in partnership with the Prince George’s County Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and ZERO Prostate Cancer, holds this annual event to raise awareness about prostate cancer while supporting research and patient resources. The event brings the community together to promote men’s health and encourage early detection, particularly among Black men who face a higher risk of the disease.
Academic Scholarships
In partnership with the Prince George’s County Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., the Blue Bridge Foundation has supported scholarships for graduating Prince George’s County seniors pursuing higher education. Since 2013, the initiative has awarded $87,000 in scholarships to 83 students, many of whom have gone on to attend leading HBCUs such as North Carolina A&T, Morgan State, Howard, Bowie State, Hampton, Florida A&M, Spelman, and Morehouse, as well as top institutions including the University of Maryland, Princeton, MIT, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.
Youth Mentorship
The Blue Bridge Foundation proudly supports the Prince George’s County Sigma Beta Club, a mentoring program serving more than 20 young men ages 8–18. Through guidance from community leaders and members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., the club provides mentorship, leadership development, academic encouragement, and community service opportunities designed to help young men grow into confident, responsible leaders in their communities.
