QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship for Juniors

The QuestBridge College Prep Scholarship gives outstanding low-income high school juniors an early advantage in college admissions. The Scholarship is designed for high school juniors who have shown outstanding academic ability despite facing economic challenges, and show the potential to attend top colleges.

QuestBridge takes all of the following factors into account when evaluating an application for the College Prep Scholarship:

• Academic Achievement
• Financial Qualifications
• Personal Circumstances

There are no absolute criteria or cut-offs for GPA, standardized test scores, or income and they take a holistic approach in reviewing applications. College Prep Scholars typically come from households earning less than $60,000 annually for a family of four, and often less than $50,000. Many past award recipients have been among the first generation in their family to attend a four-year college.

Application Deadline: March 25, 2015

Mid-Year Reports for College Apps

Details about Mid-Year Reports for senior's college applications below ... 

What information is included on the Mid-Year Report?

1. Your updated transcript  
2. A standard form completed by your counselor. 

Your updated transcript will include your marking period 1 & 2 grades. It does not include your mid-term exam grades. The updated transcript also includes your final grade for half-year courses (TOK, LEAP, Adv. Experimental Design, etc.). Additionally, the Mid-Year Report Form asks for your updated GPA. Your updated GPA includes all completed classes through junior year + the half-year classes you completed as a senior. Your current grade in full-year senior classes are NOT factored into your updated GPA.

When will Mid-Year Reports be sent?

All Mid-Year Reports will be sent by Friday, February 13th. 

Do I need to submit a request for you to send my Mid-Year Reports?

No, there is nothing for you to do. Your Mid-Year Report will be sent to all of the colleges listed on your "College's I'm Applying To" page in Naviance. The Office Status will be updated as "Mid-Year Submitted."

Why are Mid-Year Reports important?

• For schools that you've already been accepted to - they are looking to make sure that your strong academic performance has continued in your senior year. College acceptances are contingent upon successful completion of your senior year. Through the Mid-Year Report, colleges are assessing if you've developed a case of "Senioritis." 
• For schools that you haven't received a decision from or were deferred/wait listed from - showing growth in your academic performance from the end of your junior year has the potential to tip the admission scales in your favor. The Mid-Year Report is also a "marketing opportunity" for you. From the time you submitted your application, are there any new achievements to highlight? This can include awards, scholarships, improved SAT scores or starting a new job. Contact your counselor to discuss any new achievements that could potentially be included in your Mid-Year Report.
