Summer Bridge Program at STCC
This popular Summer Bridge Program offers incoming Fall 2021 students registered in a STEM major, a jumpstart to their first semester on campus. This summer the participants will receive their first Math class and First-year experience class tuition-free (4 credits) thereby giving them a head start to their STCC college experience. The students will participate in an intense Math bootcamp and Blackboard training sessions the week before Summer Session II to prepare them to handle intense summer classes. In addition, they will also receive free supplies, tutoring, peer-mentoring, and advising which will be continued until they graduate or transfer. They will also have the privilege to participate in enriching STEM experiences, events, and activities. These opportunities give the students confidence and teaches them the tools to advocate for themselves. The friendships they make over the summer helps them to form study groups and support they need when new at the college.
This program also increases awareness and familiarity with STCC campus resources such as tutoring, library, STEM majors and events, financial aid, advising, registration, career counseling, gym, student governance, cafeteria, and parking. Students have reported stronger connections with faculty and staff. Peer- mentoring has proved to be a valuable tool for our students to face the rigor of a STEM major. Students will earn a $500 stipend upon successful completion with a C grade or higher. Students will also have opportunities to apply for internships and scholarships.
