National College Match Scholarship

The information on this page concerns the fall 2007 College Match application cycle. Information for the 2008 College Match will be posted in August. In the interim, please feel free to review this page for general background, as the outlines of the program will remain broadly consistent.

Recipients of National College Match scholarships are granted admission to one of QuestBridge's partner schools along with a full scholarship covering all four years of college.

All scholarships include:

  • Full cost of tuition: from $23,000 to $36,000, depending on the college.
  • Full cost of room and board: from $7,000 to $11,000, depending on the college

Most partner colleges also include the following in their scholarship packages:

  • Books and supplies
  • Travel expenses
  • Health insurance
  • A work-study package to help cover personal and other expenses
QuestBridge's partner colleges cover the full cost of College Match scholarships using a combination of their own funds as well as state and federal aid.
