Three SLHS students receive QuestBridge Match Scholarship
SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - Three students from the San Luis High School each received the QuestBridge Match Scholarship.
According to the Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD), the students earned the scholarships through the QuestBridge National College Match program.
Alonso Mendoza matched with Stanford University and will be studying Electrical Engineering, Niltza Reyes matched with Wesleyan University and will be studying English-Creative Writing, and Emilio Lopez matched with Emory University and will be studying Biochemistry "as a pathway to medical school," YUHSD said.
"To me, this opportunity means that all the hard work and sleepless nights of the past four years have borne fruit, for I have the privilege of attending a prestigious university without worrying about putting any financial strain on my parents," Reyes said. "It also means I can finally fulfill the promise I made to my younger self: be a source of pride to my parents and study English in a place rich with history."
YUHSD says the students will receive a full-ride, four-year scholarship which will cover tuition, fees, housing and more at their matched colleges.
