Matching Top Colleges, Low-Income Students

This looks like a great program.  Kudos!

Last year, when Amherst College welcomed 473 new students to its idyllic campus, 10% of them came from QuestBridge.
 
But QuestBridge is no elite private school. It's a nonprofit start-up in Palo Alto, Calif., that matches gifted, low-income students with 20 of the nation's top colleges. In return, the schools -- including Princeton, Yale, Stanford and Columbia -- give scholarships to the students and pay QuestBridge for helping to diversify their student bodies.
