Two Northwest Early College High School Seniors named finalists for prestigious national match program
Two Northwest Early College High School students are one step closer to finding their perfect match.
Seniors Austin Camañez and Esmeralda Martinez have been selected as finalists for the prestigious Questbridge National College Match, a national program that connects high-achieving high school seniors from low-income backgrounds with full four-year scholarships to 48 of the nation’s best colleges.
“We are proud of Austin and Esmeralda for all their hard work throughout high school to afford them this great opportunity,” said NWECHS Principal Frank Clark. “We are rooting for them to receive a college match and full ride scholarship.”
Questbridge finalists include outstanding high school seniors from across the country who have shown outstanding academic ability despite financial challenges. Since 2003, the QuestBridge National College Match has successfully connected over 12,000 students with full scholarships at college partners such as Amherst, Pomona, and Carleton and exceptional research universities such as Duke, Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, and Yale.
The Match Scholarship is offered as part of a generous financial aid package provided by the college that covers the full cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board, books and supplies, and travel expenses.
All Finalists who ultimately matriculate to QuestBridge college partners join the QuestBridge Scholars Network, which provides ongoing support and resources through nationwide opportunities and campus communities. QuestBridge also provides enriching programs for their Alumni, including the opportunity to apply for full-tuition scholarships to top business schools through the Graduate School Match: MBA. The QuestBridge Scholars Network and Alumni Association now include over 20,000 current college students and graduates worldwide.
