Bridgeland, an 11,400-acre master-planned community near Cypress, Texas, was recognized on Monday, Oct, 15, 2007, by the North Harris Montgomery Community College District for its commitment to higher education. Bridgeland has initiated an endowment fund that will provide scholarships for full-time students who are Bridgeland residents to attend Cy-Fair College. Over a period of several years, Bridgeland will contribute funds to create a $15,000 endowment, the proceeds from which will provide funding for the scholarships. At the donor reception, a plaque was presented to Bridgeland in honor of its contribution. Bridgeland plans to set up similar endowments at other colleges, helping to provide additional educational opportunities for Bridgeland residents.

Education plays an important role in the development of the Bridgeland community, with a comprehensive education plan that includes a multitude of school sites within community borders, including acreage for six public elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. As the Bridgeland community matures, parents will have a choice of licensed preschool and childcare facilities, as well as private schools and facilities to meet special education needs. Already, several highly accredited private facilities are within a short distance of the development.
