QuestBridge is a national nonprofit that connects high-achieving, low-income students with leading colleges and universities. They offer two main programs: the National College Match for high school seniors and the College Prep Scholars Program for juniors.
QuestBridge is highly competitive. Each year, thousands of students apply, but only a select number are matched with partner colleges. The program looks for students with strong academic records, leadership potential, and demonstrated financial need.
QuestBridge provides full four-year scholarships covering tuition, room, board, and fees at partner colleges. The exact amount varies by school, but all QuestBridge scholars receive comprehensive financial aid packages.
QuestBridge programs are only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. International students should look for other scholarship opportunities or consider QuestBridge partner schools that offer international student aid.
