Academic Excellence Scholars Mission
In conjunction with Drew’s overall mission to encourage knowledge, experience and service within our diverse community of learners, AES serves to support first-year, Pell-Eligible and/or First-Generation students in their transition from high school to university life. Through our summer bridge program, we seek to provide first-year scholars with skills and confidence needed for overall college success.
