College Bridge at the University of Chicago

College Bridge at UChicago is an exciting opportunity for advanced high school students from the Chicago Public School system to challenge themselves by enrolling in a rigorous university course, fully funded by the UChicago Office of Civic Engagement.

College Bridge consists of two programs: Academic Year Bridge and Summer Bridge. Eligible students can apply to either program or both programs. Courses available range from biology to history to the humanities. Subjects open to Bridge students vary depending on the courses offered for the quarter and student preparedness. Applications for the 2014-15 Academic Year Bridge program are open now! For access to the application, essay prompts, and more information, please visit https://collegebridge.uchicago.edu/page/2014-15-application-online

Applicants to The University of Chicago College Bridge program:
1. Must maintain a 3.6 un-weighted GPA,
2. Must have earned a grade of B or higher in all high school courses in the subject area requested for study at UChicago,
3. Must have completed the highest level offered at your high school (usually AP) in the subject area requested for study at UChicago,
4. Must have maintained a 95% attendance rate; and
5. Must attend a high school in the Chicago Public School system. For more information about the Academic Year Bridge program, visit https://collegebridge.uchicago.edu/academic-year-bridge

The application for the Summer 2015 Bridge program will become available in February 2015. For more information about the Summer Bridge program, visit https://collegebridge.uchicago.edu/summer-bridge

Current students at the University of Chicago may get involved as well! Each high school student will be paired with a UChicago student mentor. The role of the mentor is to help Bridge students adjust to the university environment, academically and socially. Mentors play a large part in helping shape the Bridge student's experiences at UChicago, from tutoring to giving advice on college life. The mentor position is one year long, with the possibility of extending to a second or third year. You are required to be at UChicago for all three quarters in order to participate in the program. For access to the mentor application for 2014-15 (Deadline: August 22, 2013) please visit https://collegebridge.uchicago.edu/content/bridge-mentor-application-2014-2015
