SCHOLARSHIP AWARD FOR GRADUATING SENIORS
The Summer BRIDGE Program was established to assist participants with their transition from high school to college.
Following high school graduation, UB participants can earn up to 6 hours of college credit and at no cost to themselves or their families. The program is held during the summer session at Monroe County Community College. There is also no obligation or commitment to stay at MCCC after the conclusion of the Bridge Program.
