History
Questbridge started in 1987 as the Stanford Medical Youth Science Program (SMYSP). It evolved into the Questbridge Program in 2004 after the founder of Questbridge, Michael McCullough, realized that the Internet was a great tool to recruit promising low-income students. Amherst College, Rice University, Grinnell College, Wheaton College, and Trinity College joined as the first Questbridge partner schools. Nine years later, the pool of partner schools has increased to 35 of the nation's leading universities and liberal art colleges. In the last seven years, over 7500 low-income students have been admitted and offered financial aid to these partner schools.
