Questa scholars head back to campus

Nearly 500 local students are starting the fall semester with one less thing to worry about - their college bill.  Questa Education Foundation provides students up to $5,000 a year to close the gap between college costs, available aid, and their remaining expenses.  Questa awards make it possible for more local students to afford college while reducing their debt at graduation.  Questa Scholars receive loan funding that is 50-100% forgiven when they graduate and return to Northeast Indiana to live and work.  Funding makes college more accessible and debt forgiveness encourages graduates to join our workforce, meeting regional talent needs.

​
With support from funding partners like the Don Wood Foundation, Questa is expanding each year to serve more students and is planning a 33% increase in scholar awards in the 2023-2024 academic year.  Questa provides funding for traditional students and adult learners pursuing all levels of postsecondary education – from certificates to graduate degrees.  Another 100 or more students will join Questa programs this year through the Contemporary or Career Scholar programs, which accept applications year-round. 

​
In addition to their forgivable loan program, Questa provides a database of local scholarship opportunities to help students find additional aid for educational expenses.
