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:
“Thou art the unanswered question;
Couldst see thy proper eye,
Alway it asketh, asketh;
And each answer is a lie.
So take thy quest through nature,
It through thousand natures ply;
Ask on, thou clothed eternity;
Time is the false reply.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Write about winter in the summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy; describe Dublin as James Joyce did, from a desk in Paris. Willa Cather wrote her prairie novels in New York City; Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn in Hartford, Connecticut. Recently, scholars learned that Walt Whitman rarely left his room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“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)
