"Five graduating seniors at Uncommon Schools in Brooklyn are the recipients of the 2025 QuestBridge National College Match, which connects high-achieving high school seniors from low-income backgrounds with full four-year scholarships to the nation's top colleges. These students were selected from 2,550 finalists and more than 20,000 applicants this year. This scholarship covers tuition, housing, travel, and books, totaling about $325,000."
""Full four-year scholarships like these are extraordinarily rare, and to see five of our seniors earn them in the same year is truly remarkable," said Patrick Rametti, Sr. Director of College Counseling at Uncommon Schools. " This achievement reflects years of hard work, resilience, and determination by these students, as well as the unwavering support of their families and educators. We could not be prouder of them," Rametti said."
