The Match Scholarship
Attend a top college for free
Ranking colleges is one of the things that makes the National College Match so unique. You could be “matched”— or admitted early with a guaranteed full four-year Match Scholarship — to the college that appears highest on your list that is also able to match with you. Match Scholarship Recipients are admitted early to one of QuestBridge's college partners with a full four-year scholarship, worth over $325,000.
All Match Scholarship packages:
- Have NO parental contribution
- Have NO student loans
- May contain a student contribution in the form of federal work-study, summer work, and/or student savings
About the scholarship
Our college partners use their own funds as well as state and federal aid to fund the Match Scholarship. It is offered as part of a generous financial aid package provided by the college that covers the full cost of attendance, including:
Tuition and fees
Housing and food
Books and supplies
Travel expenses
