QuestBridge Strengthens Path to Columbia for Students of Low-Income
This year, 68 QuestBridge scholars entered Columbia University.
Why is it so significant?
QuestBridge is a nonprofit organization which “connects low-income students with opportunities at elite colleges.” Those admitted to Columbia through QuestBridge can also find common understanding and mentoring from fellow students in the Quest Scholars Network.
In order to be accepted into the QuestBridge program, 12th grade students must turn in their applications by September. If selected as finalists in November, they have an opportunity to receive a College Match scholarship. Columbia University has worked with QuestBridge for 8 years and running.
Besides Columbia University, other partner colleges with QuestBridge include famous institutions like CalTech, Princeton University, Brown University, and the University of Southern California.
