Rwanda Presidential Scholars

B2R helped build a consortium of about 20 U.S. colleges and universities to partner with the Rwandan government to provide university scholarships to 350 of Rwanda’s best math and science students from 2006-2018.

B2R Scholars Program

B2R created a residential Scholars Program to equip students to compete and win university scholarships. From 2011-2021, 332 B2R Scholars were selected and earned over $80 million in scholarships to 90 universities around the world.

Career Development Center

As B2R Scholars began to graduate from university, B2R established a Career Development Team to help Scholars find internships and job opportunities in Africa.

B2R Farms

The BRIDGE Talent Services

B2R expanded its Career Development team through The BRIDGE to support all high-capacity Rwandans, including graduates from partner programs like including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Gashora Girls Academy and the Rwanda Presidential Scholars.

Isomo Academy

To support more Rwandan students each year, the B2R Scholars Program was replaced by Isomo Academy. In its first two years, we have selected more students through Isomo Academy than the first 10 classes of B2R Scholars.
