Award Specifics 10 students will receive free counseling from QuestBridge to support their application to the summer program of their choice at one of the above-mentioned universities. Students who are accepted will receive a full scholarship. 100% of students who have been selected for this award since its introduction in 2006 have been accepted to the college summer program to which they applied. Scholarship will cover the full cost of tuition, travel expenses, and room and board. Travel arrangements must be made through QuestBridge to qualify for coverage under the scholarship. COLLEGE SUMMER PROGRAM INFORMATION Harvard University Secondary School Program QuestBridge will work with the Harvard Secondary School Program (SSP) to select students based on academic accomplishment and financial need. Students selected for Harvard SSP through the QuestBridge College Prep program will not need to submit a separate SSP application. However, because admission through QuestBridge is highly selective, students interested in attending the Harvard SSP regardless of QuestBridge's scholarship offer should consider applying directly to the SSP as a backup option. QuestBridge Scholarship winners will need to apply for financial aid from SSP. The QuestBridge Summer School Scholarship, in combination with SSP financial aid, will fully cover the costs of tuition, room & board, travel, and books. When applying, students will have the option of choosing between a full or half session:
