Stanford Summer Bridge Program

Build your confidence and community before Fall Quarter even starts with the Stanford Summer Bridge Program

We are excited to support new first-year and transfer undergraduate students in their transition to Stanford through a summer bridge experience designed to foster academic preparation, build community, and equip students with the tools and confidence they need to succeed and feel a sense of belonging as they begin their Stanford education.

At the heart of this program is Stanford’s continued commitment to addressing the needs of all incoming students so they may be as well positioned as possible to succeed in Stanford’s first-year courses and other academic opportunities and also to pursue whatever major they desire.  The program is designed to support the needs of students who may be the first in their families to attend college, or who have attended high schools with limited course offerings, or who simply feel that further preparation will increase their confidence in the Fall quarter and beyond.
