My friend suggested a tag line for our project: "Bridging you to your dream higher education online" and I have doubts that "bridging you to smth." is a proper word usage.
I've never heard this expression before. I've only heard "Bridging the gap between smth and smth" and "bridge between dreaming and living your dreams".
The meaning behind this is "moving you towards your dream", building a "connection, bridge" leading students to their dream university.
What do you think?
You help would be highly appreciated!

The construction of bridging A to B sounds, looks and feels weird.
Although it is clear what the tag-line is supposed to mean, it does not seem to convey its message in a natural way.
As Edwin Ashworth mentioned, the usage of bridge may be creeping, mirroring verbs like connect and join, but I have not seen it used in that way. (And I happen to work in IT - if that counts for anything :P ).
I would suggest to substitute a more appropriate verb in the tag line; depending on the exact message you want to convey you could focus on the connection (connect, link, join) or on the movement of the student towards the university of choice or the realization of their dream. Realizing your dream higher education would be an interesting grammar-twist...)
