Our reach

QuestBridge has always focused on creating opportunities for students from low-income backgrounds, regardless of race, geography, or academic interest. Since our inception through today, we have never excluded anyone on the basis of any protected characteristic (i.e. race, ethnicity, gender).

From rural towns to major cities, our students come from every state and territory of the United States, including geographic areas that are historically hard-to-reach within college admissions. Each pin represents the municipality of one or more students.

Our community

Over 30,000 students have matriculated at QuestBridge college partners in our history. Scholars benefit from a supportive community as well as other transformational opportunities.

“Going to a prestigious college always felt like a far-fetched dream, and QuestBridge really made it a reality.”

“I didn’t fully understand what it meant to be low-income until high school, when I got my own job working at McDonalds. I gained a lot more being low-income than if I hadn’t been. Life would have been easier in some regards, I wouldn’t have been teased, I wouldn’t have had to live in an apartment when my friends lived in houses, or even had to get a job. But I learned the value of more things, and I learned to work hard for everything. Society will tell me that that will hold me back, but I’m resilient.”
