National Quest Day
An annual celebration of the journeys of QuestBridge Scholars and Alumni.
Celebrating our community
Every November, QuestBridge Scholars and Alumni have come together to celebrate National Quest Day — a vibrant annual tradition dedicated to honoring our community's accomplishments, stories, and identities. This special day highlights the power of connection and the remarkable journeys of those who are a part of the QuestBridge network.
National Quest Day is an opportunity to reflect on the transformative impact of the connections fostered through QuestBridge. Through shared experiences, storytelling, and community-building activities, we celebrate the resilience, ambition, and dreams of QuestBridge Scholars and Alumni. While the day itself is a specific date each year, the celebrations span an entire month, creating multiple opportunities for engagement both in-person and online.
Since its inception over a decade ago, National Quest Day reflects how lives can be transformed through education and connection. As we look to the future, we’re excited to continue building a legacy of support, inspiration, and celebration within our growing community — now, 30,000+ strong.
How we celebrate
National Quest Day is more than just a day — it’s a month-long celebration that invites all members of the QuestBridge community to participate in ways that are meaningful to them. Here are some key ways we celebrate:

From campus-based chapter gatherings to Alumni Club meetups, National Quest Day is a time to build connections. Events range from social outings and creative workshops to themed celebrations like dessert potlucks and mini-golf.
