QuestBridge programs are for high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds. Historically, approximately 90% of the students who are selected for QuestBridge programs come from households earning less than $65,000 per year for a household of four with minimal assets (assets include savings, investments, and homes, properties, or businesses owned).
If a student comes from a household earning more than this amount but feels that they have faced economic hardship and fit the QuestBridge criteria of high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds, we would encourage that student to apply. There is room on the application to explain the household's situation. QuestBridge will thoroughly review the financial information in each student's application.
