11 ASMSA students named QuestBridge National College Match Finalists
Eleven students at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Scienes and the Arts have been named 2024 QuestBridge National College Match Finalists.
QuestBridge is a nonprofit organization that connects exceptional low-income youth with leading institutions of higher education. QuestBridge works with top universities across the country to offer four-year, full scholarships to deserving students who may otherwise be unable to afford to attend those institutions.
ASMSA seniors selected as Finalists include:
- Ezekiel Summers of Paragould;
- Sarah Pham of Hot Springs;
- Karilynn Arellano of Mineral Springs;
- Morgan Broadway of Mablevale;
- Katherine Quintanilla of Nashville;
- Hailey Judkins of Benton;
- Maddox Jessup of Stuttgart;
- Rowan Stewart of Sherwood;
- Plinio Tola of Little Rock;
- Jaime Hernandez Perez of Decatur; and
- Damian Biggs of Washington County.
QuestBridge partnered this year with 52 colleges and universities to offer scholarships at institutions such as Duke University, Rice University, Stanford University, Yale University and others.
Students apply for the scholarships through QuestBridge’s free National College Match application. They may list up to 15 of the partner schools at which they would like to be considered for admission.
Finalists who receive a match will be notified on Dec. 1. Finalists who do not receive a match for a scholarship will still be eligible to be considered for regular admission to partner schools and may still receive financial aid in the future.
Match Scholarship recipients are granted early admission to one of QuestBridge's college partners with a full four-year scholarship that includes tuition and fees, housing and food, books and travel expenses, worth more than $200,000. The Match Scholarship is offered as part of a generous financial aid package provided by the college that covers the cost of attendance, including tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and travel expenses. All Match Scholarship packages have no parental contribution or student loans.
