Refer a Student

QuestBridge is a national nonprofit that has worked for over 30 years to create opportunities for high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds to grow, lead, and thrive in college and beyond. 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 the fall.

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.

Review our eligibility criteria and our profile of recent QuestBridge Finalists to learn more about the type of student we are looking for.

Please refer any student, including younger students, who you think may be a strong fit for our programs. 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.
