| Abstract: | SummerBridge is a 4-week summer bridge program for approximately 100 graduating high school seniors from underrepresented backgrounds who will be attending a 4-year university in the fall. Students take a writing course and college knowledge workshops at a private California university. This article reports on the findings from a recent program evaluation of SummerBridge. Results from a college-ready writing and college knowledge pre- and posttest suggest some associations between program participation and test scores. |
