The Novogratz Bridge Year Program allows incoming students to begin their Princeton experience engaged in nine months of tuition-free, University-sponsored, global service learning. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Novogratz Bridge Year Program plans to offer a modified program structure for the 2021-22 academic year for up to 21 incoming students.

Launched in 2009, Bridge Year has provided transformative community-based service learning experiences to over 340 incoming Princeton undergraduates. The program is open to all members of Princeton’s newly-admitted first-year class.
