The Summer Bridge Scholars Program gives students the opportunity to strengthen academic skills, develop a peer support network, and familiarize themselves with campus during the summer months before their first year begins.

How to Apply Aid

We strongly recommend that all students admitted to the Summer Bridge Scholars Program apply for financial aid for both the summer term and the following fall and winter terms. We request that students submit documents for the Summer Bridge Program and fall/winter aid at the same time.
