References are teachers who can speak to a student's character, strengths, achievements, background, and/or any other information that may be helpful in understanding who they are as an applicant.
As part of our application, we require information for one teacher reference from the 10th or 11th grade. This means that QuestBridge, our college partners, or our scholarship partners may reach out to you in the future to provide more insight into your student's achievements in and outside of the classroom. We strongly prefer teachers from core academic subjects (English, History/Social Studies, Math, Science, Foreign Language). Before entering your information in the application, we encourage students to ask you if you would be willing to serve as a reference.
You do not need to write a letter of recommendation or take any other action unless later requested. Please note that being selected or not being selected to submit a reference does not reflect your student's chances of being named a College Prep Scholar.
