Pitt-Bradford will offer housing grants for sophomores, juniors and seniors who take summer courses on campus, including students who are not currently enrolled at Pitt-Bradford.

            The offer does not apply to first-time freshmen.

            “This is a great opportunity for current Pitt-Bradford students and students from our region who will be home this summer,” said James Baldwin, assistant dean of academic affairs and registrar. “Taking summer classes can help them get ahead, making future semesters less stressful.  It can also help them get caught up. Free housing makes this opportunity that much more possible and affordable.”

            Summer sessions ranging from four to 12 weeks begin May 11 and end Aug. 31.

            All Pitt-Bradford housing is apartment-style, and suites include living rooms, kitchenettes, full wiring for cable TV and plenty of storage space.

            Weekly housing fees of $125 will be waived for the session in which the student is registered and cannot be applied to any other semester.

            Students interested in receiving the grant must complete an application, available from the office of Residential Life and Housing.
