The Seahawk Summer Academy classes run over Summer Session 3. Classes usually begin in June and end in August. Check the College's Academic Calendar page for the exact dates for the current year (see Academic Calendar/Term)

The Seahawk Summer Academy (also referred to as summer bridge) does not have a separate application process. Students need to complete successfully the Broward College Admission processes and be cleared of all holds before the first week of class. The specific Seahawk Summer Academy classes are available and posted on this website. Students will follow the same deadline they will follow for any other BC Course. We recommend that students ensure they have all required documentation on file by June 21 to ensure they are able to register for Summer Session 3 classes.

There is no additional Summer Academy application. However, students must be registered in the Seahawk Summer Academy courses as they are listed on this website by the first day of class.

Eligible students will receive a scholarship that will cover the total tuition for both of the courses, and only if they are enrolled in our specific Summer Academy courses  as listed as paired cohorts by the first day of class. Because these courses are set-up as cohorts, student cannot add courses from different cohorts but must enroll in the two courses of the same cohort.

Visit the Seahawk Summer Academy Class Schedule page for a list of classes.

The College uses the Financial Aid office to award the Summer Academy scholarships to eligible students.

Eligible students do not need to be FAFSA eligible to be awarded the scholarship. However, we highly recommend all Summer Academy students have a complete FAFSA Application on file for the current and following year, cleared of all red flags.

Eligible students must also be fully admitted into the college, cleared to register for classes and meet Florida Residency for tuition purposes. Please visit our home page to review Summer Academy tuition scholarship eligibility requirements.

We also recommend completing the Broward College Scholarship application for other scholarship opportunities. For more information visit the Financial Aid Office page.

Yes. Students are responsible to ensure that Broward College receives their official High School transcripts by the first day of classes (Session 3). It is very important for the scholarship recipients. Since the courses run over Summer Session 3, the turnaround time can be very close to their high school graduation. In that case, we recommend that enrolled students communicate often with their academic advisor to ensure that the College receive their transcripts as soon as possible to retain their scholarship awards.

Yes, the Summer Academy courses run only over session 3 in the summer term. Session 3 courses typically start in June. Remember, classes, are available on all three campuses (North, South, and Central Campuses).

Anticipating this challenge we made sure to select courses that our students will need (see our course schedule page).

The Office of Recruitment usually sends out notifications to prospective high school students and holds various recruiting events for interested students.

Once students are admitted and enrolled, the program staff monitors registrations into the listed Summer Academy courses to ensure students are registered for both courses within a cohort. Once registered, our office will contact the students to welcome them to the summer bridge and provide them with information regarding orientations, field trips, closing award ceremony RSVP, etc.
