QuestBridge is a non-profit program that links bright, motivated low-income students with educational and scholarship opportunities at some of the nation's best colleges. QuestBridge is the provider of the National College Match Program and the College Prep Scholarship.

Congratulations to the 260 College Match scholarship recipients for 2008!
The National College Match connects high-achieving low-income students with admission and full four-year scholarships to 26 partner colleges. In 2007-8, more than 900 students received admission and significant scholarship grants from partner colleges through the National College Match program.
QuestBridge is pleased to welcome California Institute of Technology, Haverford College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Parsons The New School for Design, University of Pennsylvania, and Wesleyan University as new partners in 2008.

The College Prep Scholarship provides more than 1,000 awards that equip outstanding low-income high school juniors with the knowledge necessary to compete for admission to top-ranked colleges.
The College Prep Scholarship application is now closed.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about QuestBridge and the growing number of low-income students on our partners' campuses.
Oscar Baez, 2004 QuestBridge Scholar, recently wrote two columns (1st, 2nd) in the New York Times about making it to a top college from a low-income background.
Congratulations to Quest alumni and Stanford undergraduates Justin Christopher, Oswald Calvario and Lizeth Chiprez for winning JP Morgan's 'Good Venture' competition. Justin, Oswald and Lizeth beat out 81 teams from 48 schools and raised $25,000 for the Quest Scholars Program in the process.
