Williams & Questbridge College Match

Williams is excited to be a College Match partner with Questbridge, an initiative of the non-profit Quest Scholars Program committed to expanding opportunity in higher education to highly motivated, academically talented, low-income and underserved youth in America.

Our partnership builds upon a longstanding commitment to making Williams' liberal arts education available to and affordable for America's best students, regardless of their financial situation. Williams guarantees to meet 100 percent of a family's demonstrated need through financial aid and considers all applicants without regard to their ability to pay for college.

Questbridge matches top high school students with partner colleges and universities through a formal application process beginning in the summer before an applicant's senior year. Students matched as Questbridge Scholars are guaranteed a four-year financial aid package with no loans and no parental contribution.

In our second year partnering with Questbridge, Williams matched with 10 Questbridge Scholars during Early Decision who will enter in the Class of 2010. Williams accepted dozens more students during Early Decision and Regular Decision who were identified through Questbridge. These students are guaranteed the same need-based financial aid packages offered to all students accepted at Williams. Nearly 80 Williams students will now have entered with assistance from Questbridge.
