About The Quad Connection

Sparked by an impactful conversation between two fathers during a traditional college move-in day, The Quad Connection (TQC) is on a mission to not only educate, but also assist, families in addressing the high cost of continued education. Our database harnesses the power of an extensive philanthropic network all while equipping families with the educational “know-how” to make informed decisions on selecting and applying for higher education institutions with their children. The process is simple, TQC has created a unique platform to connect interested donors and students in need by helping fund educational scholarships based on criteria established by our pool of donors.

 

In addition to our TQC donorbase, students and families can access helpful research tools to discover various financial approaches in order to select the right school to reduce educational expenses for parents and students alike. At TQC, we believe that no one should have to sacrifice their financial freedom to obtain higher education and are committed to helping students from all backgrounds!

Step 3. A Quad Connection is Made!

Approximately 21 days prior to the term tuition payment date, TQC facilitates the collection of donor pledges on behalf of the student and coordinates distribution of the scholarship directly with the school. All donations must be used for tuition expenses only. Any excess funds pledged are returned to the designated donors.
