“QuestBridge to me means family and opportunity. I have been able to get to know so many QuestBridge Scholars and Finalists through the program. It's really cool to be able to contact people from all around the country, and even the world, who are going through similar experiences as I am. The QuestBridge community is a great one; we are all like family.” -Cecilia C., Tampa, FL, Brown University ‘28 #MatchMonday #DreamBig #NationalCollegeMatch #CollegeBound #QuestBridge #College #TopCollege #Awards #Scholarships #FullRides #TopUniversities #HighAchieving #LowIncome

“The Match Scholarship gave me the perseverance to fight for my intellectual curiosity and thirst for knowledge without being held back by anything. In tandem, I wanted to completely flip my comfort zone around and change my environment to see another side of America. … QuestBridge is a program that lets you reach for the skies so why not go all in and try your hardest? It may seem scary and that there are so many people like you, but the thing is, you are uniquely you and you should feel confident in who you are as a strong academic student that is guaranteed success no matter the outcome.” - Alan L., Staten Island, NY, Washington and Lee University ‘28 #MatchMonday #DreamBig #NationalCollegeMatch #CollegeBound #QuestBridge #College #TopCollege #Awards #Scholarships #FullRides #TopUniversities #HighAchieving #LowIncome

“Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by statistics, and focus on your abilities alone. If you love learning and desire to get the best education, then you deserve a chance to do so. Do well in your classes, utilize your support groups, ensure that you meet all the deadlines, and make time for yourself when necessary. The college application process is not an easy road and it will more than likely take a toll on your mental health, but you can do it as long as you strive to always put your best foot forward. I believe in you and wish you the absolute best.” - Chidinma H., Rahway, NJ, Smith College ‘28 #MatchMonday #DreamBig #NationalCollegeMatch #CollegeBound #QuestBridge #College #TopCollege #Awards #Scholarships #FullRides #TopUniversities #HighAchieving #LowIncome

“By providing numerous opportunities for me to learn more about college and the factors that go into picking where an ideal fit would be, [QuestBridge] gave me a much clearer perspective on the entire process. … By becoming a College Prep Scholar, I felt better prepared for the process of being a competitive college applicant through the sessions provided, the support given by current QuestBridge Scholars, and the ability to meet other students in the same situation as me. … Having the opportunity to connect with other students striving for the same goal as me was extremely rewarding. By being able to communicate and see the same struggles in other individuals, it motivated me to try even harder, as we were all collectively striving for the same goal.” - Rodolfo S., Burbank, IL, Grinnell College ‘28 #MatchMonday #DreamBig #NationalCollegeMatch #CollegeBound #QuestBridge #College #TopCollege #Awards #Scholarships #FullRides #TopUniversities #HighAchieving #LowIncome

“QuestBridge opened up my eyes to the possibility of doing the unimaginable. QuestBridge opened up the possibility for me to go to college without worrying about stressing about student debt. .… QuestBridge to me means that anything and everything is possible. As a first-generation college student, getting help from my parents was difficult, and I feared having to stress them out for something I wanted to pursue. … This opportunity has been a life-changing experience for my family and me, and I will forever be grateful to QuestBridge for allowing me to follow my dreams without having debt take over my life.” -Lubeyda L., Rocky Point, NC, Wellesley College ‘28 #MatchMonday #DreamBig #NationalCollegeMatch #CollegeBound #QuestBridge #College #TopCollege #Awards #Scholarships #FullRides #TopUniversities #HighAchieving #LowIncome
