Participation in the junior program is not a requirement to participate in the senior program.

 

If a student successfully completed the junior program requirements, they will receive an automatic invitation to participate in the senior program.

 

If the student did not successfully complete the junior year requirements or did not participate in the junior program at all, they may complete an application to apply for the senior program.

A student is not technically a Bridge Builder participant until they have completed the conference and have been inducted into the program at the Induction Ceremony.

 

The Induction Ceremony is held the final evening of the conference.
