JHS Students from low-income families looking for major college opportunities. Check out Questbridge.
QuestBridge is a powerful platform that connects the nation's brightest students from low-income backgrounds with leading institutions of higher education and further opportunities. We are an aggregator of excellence. By facilitating these exchanges, QuestBridge aims to increase the percentage of talented low-income students attending the nation's best universities and the ranks of national leadership itself.
Our Vision
QuestBridge envisions a world where America's leadership encompasses thoughtful and broad-minded decision-makers drawn from every economic segment of society.
QuestBridge will revolutionize the way leading colleges and universities recruit talented low-income students, and the way these students approach their educations and futures.
Our Mission
QuestBridge designs and builds programs for talented low-income students to access and navigate exceptional educational and life opportunities.
QuestBridge recruits, develops, and supports motivated low-income students – beginning in high school through college to their early career – to be successful at America's best colleges, graduate schools, and companies.
What we know
Abundant low-income talent exists. Annually, approximately 30,000 talented low-income students nationally are academically qualified to attend the nation’s best colleges, but the majority of them don’t even apply to one selective college. Already in the system, there is abundant raw talent and tens of thousands of academically prepared talented low-income students in America to match top low-income students with every full-need scholarship that top American colleges provide. There need be no academic gap if we can bring our best low-income students into the system.
What we believe
Intelligence, talent, motivation, nobility, and grit are distributed across the entire economic spectrum of America's youth.
Many elite colleges and universities, Fortune 500 corporations, and top graduate schools sincerely strive to embrace the country's most talented, determined, and self-motivated students. But they often lack the reach to attract appropriate candidates from low-income populations.
America has an undiscovered population of talented low-income youth. Some of our brightest young minds are well-suited to opportunities, but unconnected for simple lack of information, mentorship, and other surmountable barriers.

Due to potential severe weather tomorrow Jones Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, May 20.
The possibility of severe weather during school hours will undoubtedly create some anxiety. Please remember that every student at Jones is within a few minutes of a safe room while at school. However, if you feel your family will be safer at home, we will support your decision. If you decide to keep your child at home, please call the main office to report the absence, so it can be excused. Tomorrow’s absences will not count against perfect attendance or absences limitations. Thank you, Dr. Carl Johnson
