These two organizations operated summer school programs focused on remedial academics for their struggling students and asked us to explore what, if anything, was missing from their current program. Although approximately 94% of students from these schools were successfully admitted to college, Boniface noticed lower college retention and graduation rates for their alumni when compared with national averages for first-generation, low-income students as well compared with the average graduation rates for students from the same sociodemographic backgrounds at St. Louis University (SLU). In conjunction with St. Louis
University, Boniface wanted to use summer bridge program interventions to improve college retention for first-generation, low-income, and/or minoritized students from their schools.
