QuestBridge College Match Scholarships
Website: https://www.questbridge.org/high-school-students/national-college-match/scholarship-details
Who's Eligible: High achieving, low-income students
Award Amount: Up to 100% of your demonstrated financial need
Due Date: Varies
Requirements:
Students with strong academic chops, but little money are welcome to apply for these unorthodox scholarships. Instead of presenting students with a check, QuestBridge requires that applicants select up to 8 of QuestBridge's 30 partner schools and rank them in order of which they would like to attend most. Should a student win the award AND get into one of their top 8 institutions, QuestBridge and the school will make sure that that student gets their full financial needs met. The catch is that QuestBridge schools are competitive. If your transcripts will not receive a laugh at UVA, Yale, or MIT, you have a good shot with this one.
