I'm pleased to announce QuestBridge's expanded 2009 College Prep Scholarship, which will help more than 1,000 outstanding low-income high school juniors compete for admission to top-ranked colleges. We would be grateful if you could pass this information on to educators so they can convey it to qualified students.
The College Prep Scholarship allows students to access many opportunities through one application, including:
10 full scholarships to college summer programs at Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Notre Dame, 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 (increased from 800 last year)
100 all-expense-paid visits to top-ranked colleges (increased from 30 last year)
The scholarship application is free of charge and due on March 31, 2009.
Your assistance is vital to our ability to serve students as a non-profit program. Last year, 260 students gained admission and full four-year scholarships to top-ranked colleges through our programs, and 800 more QuestBridge applicants were admitted to selective colleges through the regular decision process with generous financial aid. This year, we plan to help even more students access these opportunities.
