I learned about QuestBridge today. The person who explained it to me told me that it has been successful in part because it worked hard to define its problem — not only connecting low income students to funding for college, but also connecting with students at a time and in a way that they could actually engage those students in the necessary application process. I like the mission and the clever approach.
I am going to share this information about Questbridge with one of my teachers for Early College. This sounds very interesting. Early College is a program for students who are either first generation college students, they qualify for free/reduced lunch, or there has been an extenuating circumstance in their family.
