The College Bridge Program 2008
Thanks to a partnership between the
Chicago Public Schools and Northwestern University, we are
pleased to admit a
select group of high school juniors from CPS to the College
Bridge Program each summer. Each participant may enroll
in one undergraduate course, for which he or she receives
credit. Tuition is free, and students may choose from a
wide variety of classes. Participants are also reimbursed
for textbook costs. By taking college-level courses with
Northwestern undergraduates, participants in the College
Bridge Program have the opportunity to experience academic
and social life on campus. They gain confidence, experience,
and inspiration - a terrific head start for any student
preparing for college.
Application Requirements
To be considered for the College Bridge Program, students
must be rising Chicago public high school seniors with a
cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Application requirements
include a personal statement, a letter of recommendation
from a high school counselor, and a high school transcript.
Interested students should request an application from their
high school's College Bridge Program counselor. Applications will be sent to College Bridge Program counselors by March 28, 2008.
Completed applications for the 2008 College Bridge Program
are due May 2, 2008. Applicants receive an admission decision
by mail one to two weeks after the deadline.
