CLASS OF 1976
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
As the Class of 1976 celebrates 50 years, we are launching a scholarship fund through the Bridge to the Future Endowment. We can honor our time at Bishop Miege and help future Stags experience the same faith-filled education that shaped our lives.
50 YEARS OF MIEGE MEMORIES — PAYING IT FORWARD

The Bridge to the Future Endowment is more than a scholarship. It’s a shared commitment to keep Catholic education accessible, no matter a family’s financial situation. Now, as a class, we’re stepping forward to create a named scholarship fund: The Class of 1976 Scholarship. 

What is the Bridge to the Future?

What started in 2008 with a single student has grown into a transformative movement. Last year alone, the Bridge to the Future (BTF) scholarship program supported 305 students, helping families stay rooted in Catholic education. Since its inception, BTF has awarded more than $6.9 million in scholarships, empowering families to continue their journey in Catholic education.

How Your Gift Grows
Three classmates have pledged $50,000 towards a named fund that will provide an annual scholarship. They are challenging classmates to contribute $5,000, $500, or $50 to match their contribution to create 2 scholarships names for the Class of 1976. Disbursements will occur at a 4% annual rate and grow with the fund over time.
• $100,000 = Two $2,000 scholarships
• Future growth = Greater impact for future Stags
