FOR JUNIORS

Applying to college can seem daunting, and the prospect of paying for it can seem even more overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be. The College Prep Scholars Program equips high-achieving high school juniors from low-income backgrounds with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to apply to top colleges.

Awards for College Prep Scholars may include:
• A full scholarship to a college summer program hosted by Yale, Emory, UChicago, and more.
• Quest for Excellence Awards, such as $1,000 for a new laptop or other resources to help the student enhance their college application.
• Exclusive access to a QuestBridge National College Admissions Conference — an invite-only event featuring workshops and a college fair with our college partners.
• Personalized college essay feedback.
• Campus visits or other opportunities from QuestBridge college partners.
• Specialized guidance and resources for the college application process.
• Peer-to-peer support in an online community.
