What the sponsor says
QuestBridge Scholarship
QuestBridge is a pathway to the nation’s top colleges for high-achieving low-income high school seniors who have excelled academically. This college and scholarship application process results in consideration for early admission and a full four-year scholarship to a top college. Questbridge scholars earn primarily A’s in the most challenging courses offered at their high school and demonstrate strong writing ability and intellectual curiosity, c ome from a household typically earning less than $65,000 annually (for a household of four) with minimal assets, and d emonstrate resilience, integrity, and motivation to succeed. Access to the previous year’s tax returns, W-2(s), or other financial documents is highly recommended to complete the application accurately and will need to be submitted as verification of income upon semi-finalist status.

Our read on this award
2 figures we worked out, not the sponsor's. Free, and it takes an email address.
How these are worked out
- Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
- Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
- None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
Remind me before this closes
We will email you a week before October 1, 2026, once. Nothing else unless you ask for it.
