What is Summer Bridge?
Summer Bridge is an exciting opportunity for 110 incoming EOP students
to sample university life at Cal State Fullerton, and to prepare for the rigors of university
work. Summer Bridge is a six-week residential program during the month of July that includes
academic, cultural, recreational, and co-curricular activities. Participants live in the
dorms under the supervision of CSUF faculty and staff.
All residents are expected to stay in the residence halls from Sunday evening to
Thursday afternoon during the entire four to five week session.
All participants benefit from the personalized attention, individualized instruction,
accessibility to campus resources, and the friendships with staff and students developed
over the period.
Summer Bridge and the required textbooks, the entire program is free of charge.
Financial aid is available to cover the full cost of the coursework. However, depending
upon how much aid the university awards you for the full school year, you may be financially
responsible for the coursework as well as the textbooks. The total cost for the coursework
is approximately $500; add another $100 for books. Cal State Fullerton will review
your financial aid application for eligibility and you will be notified concerning any coursework
fees for which you are responsible.
