QuestBridge's College Prep Scholarship provides more than 1,000 awards that level the playing field of college admissions for high-achieving low-income students:
Full scholarships to summer programs at leading universities: 10 students will receive free counseling from QuestBridge to support their applications to summer school programs at Emory, Harvard, Notre Dame, Penn, 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 who will provide personalized admissions and financial aid advice.
College Admissions Conference invitations: 1,000 students will be invited to QuestBridge conferences at Stanford and Yale. Participants will attend workshops on how low-income students can successfully apply to leading colleges. They will also meet college admissions officers and learn more about the 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 be paired with an Amherst College student who will advise them by phone and e-mail about the college admissions process.
Qualifying Jewish students are eligible for the Edward Fein Foundation Scholarship Awards program at QuestBridge. Students selected as "Fein Fellows" will be rewarded for their academic achievement with scholarships to summer programs at leading universities, laptop computers, and scholarships for SAT preparation courses.
In addition, QuestBridge offers Quest for Excellence Awards as part of the College Prep Scholarship program. Awardees will each receive a new laptop computer, and either a full scholarship to a college summer program or career mentoring opportunities.
The College Prep Scholarship awards are designed to help outstanding low-income students to compete for admission to top-ranked colleges, and to learn how to get the full benefit of generous college financial aid policies that cover 100% of financial need. They also prepare students to be competitive applicants to the QuestBridge National College Match program, which pairs outstanding low-income high school seniors with admission and full four-year scholarships to our partner colleges.
"QuestBridge has been such an integral part of my college preparation period. The college admissions counseling award provided me with a dedicated person who was willing to answer all of my questions and help guide me in the right direction. Attending the conference at Stanford offered me a firsthand look at campus and allowed me to talk to current students and alumni to answer my questions."
