I've heard of QuestBridge offering full scholarships but it almost seems too good to be true. Has anyone had experiences with them, successful or otherwise?
QuestBridge is indeed a legitimate and highly respected organization. It connects high-achieving, low-income students with some of the country's top colleges and universities, often with generous financial aid packages. The main program offered is the National College Match, which pairs qualifying students with a "match" college that provides a full-ride scholarship, covering tuition, room, and board. However, it's important to note that it is quite competitive. They are looking for students who demonstrate high academic achievement in addition to financial need. So, while it is definitely a worthwhile opportunity to consider, it's also advisable to not put all your hopes into this opportunity alone and continue to supplement it with other college and scholarship applications. Good luck!
