QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship

The QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship levels the playing field of college admissions. It equips high-achieving low-income students with the knowledge necessary to compete for admission to the nation's most selective colleges. If you are a high school junior who has achieved academic excellence in the face of economic challenges, we encourage you to complete the College Prep Scholarship application at www.questbridge.org.

Selected students will receive one or more of the following awards:

Full scholarships to college summer programs: 10 students will receive free counseling from QuestBridge to support their applications to summer school programs at Harvard, Notre Dame, Stanford or Yale. If accepted, they will receive scholarships covering the full cost of travel, tuition, and room & board.
Individualized college admissions counseling: 40 students will be paired with an experienced counselor from QuestBridge's staff and will receive personalized admissions advice via phone and e-mail throughout the college application process.
College Admissions Conference invitations: 1,000 students will be invited to QuestBridge conferences at Stanford or Yale. Participants will attend workshops on how low-income students can successfully apply to leading colleges. They also will meet college admissions officers and learn more about opportunities that QuestBridge offers.
All-expense-paid campus visits: 100 students will have their travel expenses and room & board covered by a QuestBridge partner college to visit their campus.
Tele-mentoring with college students: 100 students will each be paired with an Amherst College student who will provide advice about the college admissions process.

The College Prep Scholarship application is available at www.questbridge.org. The application is free of charge and is due March 31, 2009.

The College Prep Scholarship also prepares students to be successful applicants to the QuestBridge National College Match program in the fall of their senior year. The National College Match pairs outstanding low-income high school seniors with admission and full four-year scholarships to our partner colleges. Last year, 260 students were offered admission and full four-year College Match scholarships to QuestBridge partner colleges. An additional 800 QuestBridge applicants were admitted to partner colleges with generous financial aid through the regular decision process.

QuestBridge partners include Amherst College, Bowdoin College, Caltech, Columbia University, Emory University, Haverford College, MIT, Northwestern University, Oberlin College, Parsons The New School for Design, Pomona College, Princeton University, Rice University, Scripps College, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, Trinity College, the University of Chicago, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pennsylvania, Vassar College, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University, Williams College, and Yale University.
