QuestBridge

Establishing a bridge to higher education for the most highly motivated and talented low-income youth in America

"The future of our democracy rests upon ways of finding opportunity and mobility that are not happening in our unequal world. Quest is at the crossroads of doing just that."
  Anthony Marx
President, Amherst College

Our Goal


QuestBridge, an initiative of the Quest Scholars Program, serves as an intermediary between the nation's brightest, under-served youth and leading institutions of higher education. QuestBridge provides a single, internet-based meeting point which links exceptional students with the colleges, scholarship providers, employers, and organizations seeking students who have excelled despite obstacles. By facilitating these exchanges, QuestBridge aims to increase the percentage of talented, low-income students attending the nation's best universities, and excelling beyond.

Our Scholars


Successful QuestBridge applicants demonstrate exceptional academic abilities and a drive to succeed despite financial obstacles. Scholars come from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, and various US geographic regions. To read profiles of QuestBridge scholars, click here.
