Since 2006, the University of Chicago has opened its campus and classrooms to academically advanced public high school students who take select college courses for free year-round. Now, thanks to new support from the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies, students in the University’s College Bridge program are set to receive additional assistance to help them prepare for the rigors of college.
The Graham School, which has long provided administrative support for College Bridge during the summer, will assume all advising responsibilities during the summer and the academic year. It will increase the number of College Bridge advisors, who will coordinate directly with students at every stage of their experience. It also will look to increase the $200,000 in scholarships it contributed to Summer Session students in 2016, which will enable the summer program to serve more students.
