Designed to give TRIO UB graduates a head start on college, the Bridge Scholars Program allows a handful of exceptional Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ the chance to enroll in two Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ courses in the summer following their high school graduation. To apply, Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ must be seniors in high school who have above average grades and shown a strong dedication to TRIO Upward Bound.
All available courses will also be attended by other Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ summer session Ñý¼§Ö±²¥. TRIO Upward Bound pays all costs associated with the student's participation in the Bridge Scholars Program, including tuition, fees, textbooks, and room and board—a potential savings of up to $5,000 per student. Bridge Scholars also learn about resources for academic support on campus and are welcome to join Summer Academy activities as their coursework allows.
