Bridge to Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST)

Bridge to Engineering Success scholars at Tufts University.

The Bridge to Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST) empowers students from under-resourced high schools, first-generation, and historically underrepresented students in the School of Engineering. BEST scholars begin their academic journey at Tufts the summer before matriculation with courses and workshops. The community of BEST scholars is provided with tutoring, access to career networks and research opportunities over their four years of study to create a robust end-to-end university experience.

"I’ve never felt more like a part of a community than I have at Tufts and at the engineering program," says Zharia Akeem, E24 and BEST Scholar. "Everyone’s trying to do something, everyone’s trying to create something and make a difference and break some type of barrier. They motivate me to try to do more, to learn more things."
