QuestBridge is a national nonprofit based in Palo Alto, California that connects the nation's most exceptional students from low-income backgrounds with leading institutions of higher education and further life opportunities. By recruiting, developing, and motivating these students — beginning in high school through college to their early career — QuestBridge aims to help these students attend the nations’ best colleges and to support them to achieve success in their respective careers and communities. ..... The National College Match is an alternative, generally binding, and free application process for high-school seniors. It helps students apply to and be selected for admission at partner colleges with full four-year scholarships.
The number of students applying for the National College Match Application has increased each year, from 6,647 students in 2010 to 7,821 students in 2011 to 9,577 students in 2012 and to 13,264 in 2015.[15]
For the Class of 2015, 4,895 (37%) of the applicants were named QuestBridge finalists, and 657 (13%) received a College Match Scholarship.
In addition, 2,257 finalists (46.1%) were offered acceptance and financial aid to a partner college, either through the National Match or through Regular Decision.
Of the 4,895 QuestBridge Finalists, 71% were first generation to attend college and 89% were in the top 10% of their class.
92% came from families with an income of $65,000 or less. The median income was $33,177 and 79% were eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch.[16]
Of the 383 students who received a College Match Scholarship in 2012, 76% were first generation to attend college, 29% were valedictorians, and 84% were in the top 5% of their class. 96% came from families with an income of $60,000 or less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuestBridge
Our QuestBridge Scholars come from all over the United States and share a common belief that their financial circumstances will not determine their ability to achieve excellence at college and beyond. Here are some of their stories! https://www.questbridge.org/high-school-students/story
Honestly, I wouldnt’ve known that Wellesley even existed if not for Questbridge, which sent me a letter at the start of my senior year of high school that basically said, someone thinks you’re smart, here are schools we think you should attend. The first time I ever got on a plane was through a stipend made possible by Questbridge for me to visit Bowdoin, which was a great school, but white as hell. Which, you know, is a theme of many top tier liberal arts colleges. Nice, but white.
I got into every single school I applied to, and most gave me the same financial aid package–basically the whole thing, as my family had nothing to contribute to my college career.
Pomona actually worked money for traveling back home during breaks into my aid, but in the end I went to Wellesley because with my acceptance letter, the admissions office also sent a fee waiver for that nebulous $300 deposit to hold my place. And that’s what it came down to, really: my mother didn’t have the $300 to send to Pomona, or Bowdoin, or Williams, so to Wellesley College I went. https://wellesleyunderground.com/post/126629682057/wellesley-writes-it- interview-with-zoe-rana?fbclid= IwAR281iVhCxo26NKEAwYHLQtsUnN0IDVBZZMP9bPn9m9MZo1eqdhnUgvYMFo
In 2019, out of 14,926 applications, 5,842 students were selected as National College Match Finalists. Finalists exhibit high academic achievement and qualify financially.
Below are some aggregate statistics that represent the strength of these Finalists:
Academic Profile Average GPA: 3.90 SAT (middle 50%): 1310-1450 ACT Composite (middle 50%): 28-33 Class rank: 87% from the Top 10% Financial Profile Household Income under $65,000: 90%
