Summer Bridge Program
Oakwood University Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program, HBCU-UP, strives through its member institutions to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented Minority students completing baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Students will participate in research, mentoring, academic enrichment, opportunities for networking and receive information about graduate schools across the country. During the school year, students are eligible to be selected for a paid research opportunity.
The Summer Bridge Enrichment Program is a two-week virtual session that allows high school seniors to experience Oakwood University, prior to their enrollment in the fall, and prepare them for future academic success. Students will receive academic instruction, campus survival skills, mentoring, advising and an introduction to learning styles.
