The Bridges to Baccalaureate Program Enters its Final Year

Published: April 22, 2021

The Southwestern Bridges to Baccalaureate program (SWID B2B) is entering the fifth and final year of NIH support for our students. Four cohorts of Bridges Fellows have successfully transferred to Boise State University, engaged in the Summer Research Experience, and established themselves as serious scholars among the undergraduate research community at BSU.

There is still an opportunity for you to become a Bridges Fellowship award winner! We are currently accepting applications for the fifth and final cohort of students to be awarded Fellowships in this grant cycle. Visit our website to view a short video on the program or click here for more information and to apply.

Students must meet certain eligibility requirements and be transferring to Boise State as a full-time student for the fall 2022 academic term. If you have questions about the program, pre-requisite coursework at CWI, or your eligibility, please reach out to Dr. Steve Lysne (stevelysne@cwi.edu) or Prof. Holly Paquette (hollypaquette@cwi.edu).

Take charge of your future! Apply to the SWID B2B program today or get involved with any of the opportunities available to CWI students found in the Math & Science Hub on Blackboard. If you do not have access to the Math & Science Hub and would like to be added, contact Prof. Dusty Perkins (dustyperkins@cwi.edu).
