What is Questbridge?
QuestBridge connects low-income students with full rides to top colleges—no catch.
If you’re on TikTok, you’ve probably seen people talking about QuestBridge—and for good reason. QuestBridge is a program that helps high-achieving, low-income students land full scholarships to some of the best colleges in the U.S.
We’re talking schools like Stanford, Yale, and MIT—all without stressing about tuition or loans. Sounds like a dream, right? Let’s break it down.
How It Works
QuestBridge offers two key programs:
- The National College Match
This is where you rank up to 15 partner colleges, and if you “match” with one, you’re in with a full-ride scholarship. Even if you don’t match, many finalists still get accepted to top schools with generous financial aid. - The College Prep Scholars Program
This program is for juniors and offers resources like free summer programs, personalized feedback, and connections to mentors to help you prep for college applications.
Who’s Eligible?
QuestBridge is looking for students who:
- Have a strong academic record.
- Come from families earning less than $65,000 annually (for a family of four).
- Are leaders or highly involved in their communities.
If this sounds like you, it’s worth checking out.
QuestBridge removes financial barriers and opens doors to elite colleges that might’ve felt out of reach. It’s a game-changer for students who want to dream big, and it connects you with a community of other driven students just like you.
