Envisioneering Summer Bridge
Weber State University's Envisioneering Summer Bridge Program aims to strengthen Utah's workforce by providing tuition-free summer university courses for high school students. This 7-week program offers two free engineering and technology college classes, hands-on activities, tutoring, mentoring, and industry field trips.
Applications will open in February 2026. Additional details and updates will be posted to the website as they become available.
Schedule
June 22 - August 5th, 2026

9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Mondays and Wednesday: classes

Due to the condensed nature of this program, missing more than one day for vacation is not recommended. Each class covers essential material, and extended absences can make it difficult to stay on track. Regular attendance is key to success, and students who participate daily will have the necessary resources to excel.
