The university is currently seeking 40-45 incoming UNCP students to apply to participate in UNCP’s Summer Bridge program for summer 2023 for FREE!
UNC-Pembroke's Summer Bridge Program is a six-week academic success program that engages incoming first-year scholars and prepares them to discover, belong and thrive as they transition to a university environment for no cost!
Summer Bridge is designed for various underrepresented incoming students to ease their transition to UNCP. The program is open to all students but priority is given to students that plan to study in the fields of science, business or mathematics (STEM).
