As a reminder… USC is a QuestBridge Partner College, and the 2019 QuestBridge National College Match scholarship application is due on September 26, 2019.

What is the QuestBridge National College Match? Well, if you are a low-income high school senior who has excelled academically, it helps to bring the nation’s best colleges into your financial reach. Through this college and scholarship application process, you can apply for free to the nation’s best colleges and be considered for early admission and a full four-year scholarship from the college.

Last year, 1,044 high school seniors were awarded full college scholarships though the National College Match early on December 1, 2018, and 1000s more QuestBridge Finalists were admitted to the partner colleges below via regular decision and still garnered exceptional financial aid offerings.

We’re so grateful for QB! Our son did not match, but will attend USC SCA in the Spring as part of the QB scholar family!

Even though USC only matches ~5 finalists, they seem to admit a good amount of QB scholars via RD. @WWWard is a treasure, thanks again for your help!

Programs like this are great for restoring your faith in humanity. The press loves to skew USC and other top tier colleges for admissions scandals with wealthy kids, but this sort of thing along with USC’s extensive community outreach programs really make you proud of the school. Fight on!

@romns116 You’re welcome. We share your appreciation of QuestBridge. The situation was the same for both of my daughters… each were QuestBridge Finalists who did not Match but who were accepted by USC with excellent financial aid. It also allowed them to apply to many QB partner colleges without paying those high application fees. I highly recommend consideration of it for future applicants who may be in a position to take advantage of all that QB offers…

@uscalum05 excellent point. I have still never seen the media profile QB and/or the QB partner colleges efforts.
