QuestBridge National College Match

The QuestBridge National College Match is a college admission and scholarship program designed for high-achieving high school seniors from low-income backgrounds. Through this program, students can apply for free to 55 top partner colleges and be considered for early admission with a full four-year scholarship worth over $325,000, covering tuition, housing, food, and other expenses. The program takes a holistic approach to reviewing applications, considering academic achievement, financial qualifications, and personal qualities. Applicants who become Finalists are competitive candidates for admission, and those who match are admitted to a college partner with the full scholarship. The National College Match also provides access to a supportive community of over 11,000 current QuestBridge Scholars and a network of over 20,000 QuestBridge Alumni for continued support, networking, and lifelong opportunities after graduation. Since its founding, over 19,000 Finalists have been matched to college partners, with 2,550 Finalists matched in 2025 alone.
