We are thrilled to announce that eight high school seniors from across the BASIS Charter Schools network have been matched with their dream college through the QuestBridge National College Match program!
The QuestBridge Match Scholarship provides low-income students with full four-year scholarships. These scholarships cover tuition, housing, food, books, supplies, travel expenses, and more. Each scholarship is worth more than $325,000 on average.
To be eligible for the award, students must display a high level of academic achievement. Most recipients of the QuestBridge Match Scholarship are in the top 5–10% of their graduating class and have higher-than-average standardized test scores.
QuestBridge partners with over 50 colleges and universities from across the United States. During the application process, students rank the colleges that interest them the most. Recipients of the QuestBridge Match Scholarship are “matched” with a specific school from their list, receiving early admittance and a guaranteed four-year scholarship.
In 2024, QuestBridge had over 25,500 students apply to the program. From this pool, only 2,627 students were matched with colleges through the College Match Scholarship.
Please join us in congratulating our seniors who received the 2024 QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship!
