The TRIO Summer Bridge Program is for first-generation college students and/or neurodivergent college students. The program provides a yearlong learning community and support for students as they embark on journey at Illinois College. It begins with a ten-day program prior to the start of the academic year. Students will spend the first five days online and the following five days in-person. During the summer program, students work closely with Illinois College faculty members strengthening skills in reading and writing, improving organizational and study skills, and gaining a clearer sense of how a liberal arts college prepares students to achieve their life and career goals. Students will work closely with the TRIO Summer Bridge leadership team and an academic advisor throughout the entire academic year. There is no cost to participate in this program.
