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:
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
