²ÊÃñ±¦µä

Marking its ninth year, the summer Precollege Bridge Program continues its commendable role in guiding students toward their ²ÊÃñ±¦µä journey. 

Administered by the Office of Precollege Outreach & Engagement, Division of Enrollment Management, the program propels students who have completed a precollegiate program at any University of Colorado campus, the University of Colorado Upward Bound program, or any of the university's statewide partner programs into a realm of academic enrichment, peer community, professional development and resource accessibility. 

The summer program, spanning an intensive and captivating four weeks, is meticulously designed for students primed to enter ²ÊÃñ±¦µä in the forthcoming fall. This program serves as a compass for students, aiding their acclimatization to the university milieu. Its objectives encompass furnishing students with a head start for a triumphant college journey and embarking on the journey of community-building with peers, faculty and staff.

This summer, 28 students undertook participation in four courses, of which two were credit-bearing. These courses not only granted students insights into academic accomplishments, financial literacy and personal growth but also offered exposure to an array of campus resources.

Since its inception in 2015, the summer program has engaged 172 precollege alumni.

Students who do not have the opportunity to attend the summer program but complete a precollegiate program at another CU campus, the University of Colorado Upward Bound program or any of the university’s statewide partner programs will automatically be a participant in the academic year Precollege Bridge Program, which offers a $2,000 renewable scholarship for up to five years, among other benefits.
