QuestBridge's College Prep Scholars Program selects thousands of high-achieving juniors from households earning under $65,000 (family of four) for a free year of college-prep support, including free visits to top colleges, admissions conferences, and access to competitive scholarships that cover tuition at other summer academic programs. It also serves as the on-ramp to QuestBridge's senior-year National College Match. About 3,852 juniors were selected College Prep Scholars in 2026.
