QuestBridge National College Match Program

QuestBridge is an initiative of the non-profit Quest Scholars Program that identifies high-achieving, low-income students nationwide, assists them with their applications and helps them connect with competitive colleges they would like to attend. Emory University is a member of a select coalition, including Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Columbia and Rice universities, as well as small liberal arts colleges such as Bowdoin, Oberlin and Wellesley, that partner with QuestBridge.

Through the College Match Program, high school seniors chosen as finalists have their names and applications submitted by QuestBridge to college "partners" during the early admissions cycle in lieu of submitting their applications directly to schools.

The colleges then rank the students they are interested in, and the students rank their top-choice colleges. If there is a match, the student may attend the school and receive a scholarship package that includes full cost of tuition, books and room and board. Students who do not find a match during the early admissions cycle may apply to their choices regular decision.

Students apply for the QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship during 11th grade and for the College Match program during 12th grade. For more information on QuestBridge please www.questbridge.org.
