Applying to the QuestBridge National College Match allows you to apply early to up to 15 of your top choice colleges, while Early Decision, and in some cases Early Action, restricts you to only one school. You are notified early through the Match, as you are with ED/EA, but admission through the Match also comes with the Match Scholarship, a full four-year scholarship covering the cost of attendance, with no loans or parent contribution. As a Finalist, your application fees to our college partners are also waived if you apply through QuestBridge. If admitted to a QuestBridge school, you would join the QuestBridge Scholars Network, which is a national network of QuestBridge Scholars at our college partners. Upon graduation from a college partner, you will be eligible to join the QuestBridge Alumni Association and apply for the QuestBridge Graduate School Match.
If you are a Finalist who does not match, you can still apply to our college partners for free through QuestBridge Regular Decision. In addition, some schools you rank may allow you to apply early in December if you do not match. Review each college partner's options following the Match.
