Scholarship Due March- 28

I’m pleased to announce the opening of the 2010 QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship application. Our program provides more than 1,000 awards that equip outstanding low-income high school juniors with the knowledge necessary to compete for admission to leading colleges. I appreciate your past recommendation of Michael Gaulden for our organization’s programs, and I would be grateful for your support in connecting more students with our scholarship opportunities.

The College Prep Scholarship allows students to access many opportunities through one application, including:

• 10 full scholarships to college summer programs at Emory University, Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University
• 40 awards of college admissions counseling provided by QuestBridge staff
• 1,000 invitations to QuestBridge College Admissions Conferences at Stanford and Yale
• 100 all-expense-paid campus visits to top-ranked colleges

The College Prep Scholarship application is free of charge and is due March 29, 2010.

QuestBridge is also offering Quest for Excellence Awards as part of the College Prep Scholarship program. Awardees will each receive a new laptop computer, and either a full scholarship to a college summer program or career mentoring opportunities. Please visit www.questbridge.org for more details.

The College Prep Scholarship is designed to prepare students for the QuestBridge National College Match in their senior year. Through the National College Match, more than 1,000 QuestBridge applicants gained admission to our partner colleges in 2009 with generous financial aid. Of these students, 268 received College Match scholarships covering the full cost of tuition and room and board, worth up to $200,000.

Please share this information with students in any of the following ways:

• Direct qualified students to the QuestBridge website at www.questbridge.org, or use the “Refer a Student” form to refer qualified students to us.
• Distribute our flyers containing College Prep Scholarship information. The flyers are available as electronic downloads at www.questbridge.org/educators/resources.html.
• Share this information with other educators who may know qualified students.

Thank you for spreading the word about the College Prep Scholarship. Your assistance is vital to our ability to serve students as a non-profit program. For additional information, please feel free to contact us at educators@questbridge.org.
