About Us


"The financial aid package I so graciously received via the National College Match has allowed me not only to attend a prestigious university that I normally wouldn't have been able to afford, but has also given my mother and me the greatest gift of all: peace of mind."

National College Match Scholarship

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


All scholarships include:

  • Full cost of tuition: from $30,000 to $40,000 per year, depending on the college.

  • Full cost of room and board: from $9,000 to $15,000 per year, depending on the college.

Most partner colleges automatically renew this scholarship for all four years of college, and 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.
