The Upward Bound Bridge
Program is an extension of regular Upward Bound services. The program
is an instrument to ease the transition from high school to college. The
Bridge Program is offered to Upward Bound graduating seniors who are enrolled
in college for the fall semester of their graduating year. Bridge students
are offered two transferable college courses for three credit hours each.
Students are eligible for the same services as regular Upward Bound students.
Students may live
on campus or commute to class. While class schedules vary, Bridge
students may attend as many cultural activities as feasible. A stipend
of $30.00 every two weeks is allotted to each Bridge student as long as
the student is making academic progress in his or her classes.
Upward Bound pays all expenses, tuition, travel, room and board for participants
while attending the summer Bridge Program. Students considering the
Bridge Program need to understand that certain requirements are necessary.
Students need to attend both sessions. If a student withdrawals from
the summer class, or drops out of the program, they will be responsible
for the tuition for the class(es). Bridge students must complete
the summer Bridge Program with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5
or above on a 4.0 scale. Grades will be recorded on permanent college
transcripts.
