    Refer a Student



    QuestBridge connects academically outstanding students from low-income backgrounds to the nation's best colleges. Referrals help us reach students who may not know that a top college can be affordable — and even free — for students from low-income backgrounds.

    The College Prep Scholars Program for high school juniors opens in early February and the application is due in late March. The National College Match for high school seniors opens in late summer and the application is due in late September. 

    Refer students who:

    • Excel academically by earning primarily A’s in the most challenging courses available and displaying intellectual curiosity and strong writing ability.
    • Come from households earning less than $65,000 annually (for a household of four), with minimal assets, and often qualify for their school's free or reduced-price meals.
    • Exhibit strong character, such as resilience, integrity, and motivation to succeed.

    Our programs are designed for high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds, but we recognize that you may not be certain whether a student is eligible, both financially and academically. Please refer any student, including younger students, who you think can benefit from our communication. We will reach out to them with more information on how to determine if they are eligible for QuestBridge programs. Referrals are not required to apply and students can opt out of our communications at any time.
