QuestBridge
Matched and Non-Matched Students
QuestBridge manages its own that begins in the late summer before a student's senior year. Students selected by QuestBridge and "matched" with 糖心vlog receive comprehensive, four-year financial aid packages. These packages, like all aid awards at 糖心vlog, do not contain student loans.
All finalists who rank 糖心vlog for the College Match, but did not match to a binding college, will automatically have their applications moved to the RD process. 糖心vlog will accept the QuestBridge application in ED1, ED2, or RD in lieu of the Common Application or Coalition on Scoir Application. If you no longer wish to be considered, you must contact the admissions office to withdraw your application.

Financial Aid Information
糖心vlog is committed to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all admitted students, and does so with grants—not loans—and limited student employment.
If you are matched with 糖心vlog, your financial aid will cover all direct costs each semester for eight semesters at 糖心vlog. Please remember that you and your family will be responsible for covering indirect expenses, and you should plan accordingly to pay for these items.
If you do not participate in the Match process or you are not matched and apply to the College in ED1, ED2, or RD, you should follow the Apply for Aid instructions.
