Hello Parents and Class of 2022 Students!
Here is an incredible opportunity for Seniors who are considering applying to Private Universities. Questbridge has announced a program for Seniors called The National College Match in which Seniors are matched with a Private University (see their list of college partners here: QuestBridge College Partners) and receive a 4-year scholarship (yes, a full ride!). The application deadline is September 28th and students will be notified on December 1st if they are matched with a college. Here are some of the eligibility requirements for applying:
- Family income of $65,000 or less for a family of 4
- Student has primarily A’s in challenging courses
- Student demonstrates strong writing skills and intellectual curiosity
- Student holds leadership roles & is involved in extracurricular activities (part-time jobs and taking care of siblings are considered extracurricular activities for this scholarship)
- Undocumented students are welcome to apply
- Students MUST commit to one Private University if they are matched
- Student has the choice of applying to any 45 colleges with one application (can only select 12 colleges out of the 45)
If you are interested in applying for this program, please schedule a time to speak with me to ensure that you meet the requirements and complete the application: https://calendly.com/maldrete21-22
