Through their forgivable loan programs, Questa directly addresses community needs by helping local students achieve their education and encouraging talented graduates to remain in our community to build our workforce. With the demand for financial support surpassing the current available resources, this donation will make a meaningful impact to students pursuing a college education. In the 2022-2023 academic year, Questa received an overwhelming three times more applications compared to the number of awards that could be funded using existing resources. Funding from the Everwise Foundation enables Questa to extend its reach and support to more students.

“The Everwise Foundation is pleased to support Questa and its Scholars program,” said Vicki Partaker, mortgage sales manager at Everwise. “Everwise is committed to the communities it serves. Supporting Questa and their mission of providing educational enrichment for students helps create healthier, more prosperous places to live, work, and raise families.” With the support of organizations like the Everwise Foundation, Questa Scholar Programs create a brighter future for many students in need.
