Hurray! QuestBridge is happy to provide Scholarship Grants for qualified and deserving students who wish to enroll in an undergraduate degree program in the United States of America. The Scholarship scheme is a fully funded grant for all students from across the globe.
Description of QuestBridge Scholarship Grants 2021/2022
QuestBridge is a scholarship program in the United States that strives to help low-income students from all walks of life. As a result, the QuestBridge award is one of the greatest need-based high school scholarships available. QuestBridge is, as you might expect, a highly competitive scholarship.
Selection Criteria for the QuestBridge Scholarship Grants 2021/2022
The QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship allows high-achieving, low-income students to rank 10 to 12 colleges that they would be interested in attending. Students who are finalists will “match” with one of these institutions and receive a “full-ride” of financial aid.
What is the QuestBridge National College Match
The National College Match, delivered by QuestBridge is a college scholarship application process that assists excellent low-income high school seniors in gaining admission and full four-year scholarships to the nation’s most selective universities.
QuestBridge offers the National College Match grant in collaboration with 40 top colleges and universities across the United States. With no parental contribution and no student loans, the scholarship covers the total cost of attendance for each college, including tuition, housing and board, travel expenses, and books and supplies.
The scholarship may, however, require student participation as work-study or student savings.
