Congratulations to 34 Uncommon Schools seniors on earning full rides to college as QuestBridge Match Scholarship Recipients!

We are celebrating some of our amazing Uncommon Schools high school seniors! 34 seniors earned the prestigious QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship through a competitive program which connects high-achieving high school seniors from low-income backgrounds with full four-year scholarships to 52 of the nation’s top colleges. 

Our seniors are part of a highly competitive group of 2,627 Match Scholarship Recipients, from an applicant pool of 25,500 seniors nationwide and a group of 7,288 Finalists. The scholarship covers 100% of the costs of college, valued at over $350,000. We are so thrilled for our students and their families, and applaud the years of hard work and dedication that have led to this life-changing opportunity!

Thank you to our staff as well for all their invaluable support along the way, especially our college counselors and our teachers. Nationally, one in every 100 QuestBridge Match Scholarship Recipients is an Uncommon student (1.3%)! Our 34 winners is a 55% increase from last year’s previous record-breaking results. 

Watch the powerful moments when our seniors found out they were receiving a QuestBridge Scholarship!
