The QuestBridge National College Match helps high-achieving high school seniors gain admission and full four-year scholarships to some of the nation's most selective colleges. If you are a student who has excelled academically while facing economic challenges, we encourage you to apply.

National College Match scholarships cover:

• full cost of tuition (up to $36,000 per year, depending on the college)

• full cost of room and board (up to $11,000 per year, depending on the college)

Most QuestBridge partner colleges also include the cost of books and travel in their scholarship packages and automatically renew the scholarship for all four years of college.

More than 600 of the students selected as finalists in last year’s National College Match program were admitted to QuestBridge partner colleges with generous financial aid:

• 103 finalists were selected as QuestBridge Scholars and received admission and full four-year College Match scholarships worth over $15 million.

• More than 500 finalists were accepted by QuestBridge partner colleges through the regular admissions process and received generous financial aid packages worth over $40 million.
