QuestBridge Scholarships 2025 – USA
QuestBridge Scholarship applications are now being accepted. We shall go into great depth about this scholarship program, including its advantages and the detailed application procedure, in this post.
For American students, the QuestBridge Scholarships 2025 offer full funding. Seniors in high school are eligible for these scholarships. The scholarship, which is valued over $200,000, covers the whole four-year program.
By providing matching scholarships and tuition grants to participants in the Texas Tuition Promise Fund, the state’s prepaid tuition program, the Texas Match the Promise Foundation encourages families to save for college.
At qualified Texas public colleges and universities, Promise Fund tuition units are equivalent to a set amount of tuition for undergraduate residents and necessary fees for the entire school. In order to augment participant contributions to the fund during the current Promise Fund sales season, Match the Promise will grant Promise Fund tuition units to eligible participants.
QuestBridge offers the National College Match grant in collaboration with 40 top American colleges and universities. With no parental assistance or student loan debt, the award pays for all college expenditures, including tuition, lodging and board, travel, books, and supplies. However, keep in mind that the scholarship can require a student to contribute through job study or savings.
Two Scholarship Levels:
Matching Scholarship
The same kind of tuition units will be matched up to $500 in participant tuition unit purchases. Scholarship recipients will receive a two-to-one match if their family makes $75,000 or less. A one-to-one match will be given to all other scholarship recipients.
The Promise Scholarship
A one-time grant of $2,000 in tuition units at current costs will be given out. Up to 150 applicants with the highest scores will be eligible for matching scholarships. Promise Scholarships will be awarded to the top five candidates.
