This year, QuestBridge’s 55 college partners matched with 2,550 Finalists, who are recognized as Match Scholarship Recipients.
QuestBridge National College Match connects exceptionally high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds with top colleges and universities through a highly competitive application process.
