Quest Scholars Network
All QuestBridge finalists who enroll in a partner college become Quest Scholars. Quest Scholars come to represent the Quest Scholars Network (QSN), a branch of QuestBridge formed in 2009 which seeks to link Quest Scholars across the country with each other and with leadership and service opportunities. Each QuestBridge partner college has a Quest Scholars Network chapter, composed of all the QuestBridge Finalists enrolled in that particular school.
The QSN nominates a liaison for each chapter every year, whose primary duty is to serve as the intermediary between the national organization and the school's chapter. The QSN Liaison for each school attends training in Palo Alto, California, home to the Quest Scholars Headquarters.
Other leadership opportunities offered by the QSN include:
- Quest Ambassadors, who spread the word about opportunities like QuestBridge
- Quest Group Leaders, who represent their schools in the QuestBridge College Conferences
- Quest College Counselors, who guide College Prep Scholars through the college process
- Quest Bloggers, who write monthly posts featured on the QSN website
- Quest Mentoring, in which sophomore, junior, and senior Quest Scholars provide guidance and support for incoming Quest Scholars
- Quest Internships, offered by both the Quest Scholars Network and QuestBridge on a variety of topics related to non-profit work
- Quest Summer Service Grants, which provide funding for service projects undertaken by Quest Scholars
- Quest Alumni Association, which seeks to create a network of Quest Scholar alumni from all over the country

Famous quotes containing the words quest, scholars and/or network:
“There will be no greater burden on our generation than to organize the forces of liberty in our time in order to make our quest of a new freedom for America.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again in society, let life be fair and poetic, and the scholars will gladly be lovers, citizens, and philanthropists.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
