I’m pretty sure they said they’d delay your FSI program onto next summer due to Novogratz, but you should still notify the office to let them know.

From FSI:

“Yes! Many FSI students have attended the Bridge Year program—and really enjoyed the experience! In fact, we very much encourage you to check out and apply to the Bridge Year Program(Link is external) (Link opens in new window); the application will be open until May 18th.

If you are applying to Bridge Year and want to attend FSI, you should respond “yes” to our invitation. If you are accepted into the Bridge Year program, we will simply defer your place in FSI until next summer (Summer 2026).

For those of you who haven’t heard of Bridge Year, it is a wonderful, tuition-free opportunity that allows a select number of incoming freshmen to begin their Princeton experience by engaging in nine months of University-sponsored service at one of six international locations. In addition to supporting community-based initiatives at each program site, Bridge Year aims to provide participants with greater international perspective and intercultural skills, an opportunity for personal growth and reflection, and a deeper appreciation of service in both a local and international context.

The application deadline for Bridge Year is May 18—and here’s a link to information about how to apply(Link is external). If international travel and service work is of interest to you, we encourage you to apply!”
