We are excited to celebrate two high school seniors who have earned full four-year scholarships through the 2025 QuestBridge National College Match program. These students join an elite group of only 2,550 Match Scholarship Recipients nationwide, selected from over 7,026 National Finalists.

Congratulations to:

Magnolia High School - Jorge Bedolla Fonseca, Brown University
Magnolia West High School - Anna Thompson, Bates College

QuestBridge connects high-achieving seniors from low-income backgrounds with full scholarships to 52 of the nation’s top colleges and universities. The scholarships cover the full cost of attendance, including tuition, housing, meals, books, supplies, and travel expenses, removing financial barriers to higher education.

These students exemplify academic excellence, leadership, and resilience. Their achievements highlight the district’s dedication to preparing students for success beyond high school and ensuring every student has the opportunity to achieve their dreams.

Scholars also join a supportive network of peers and alumni who provide guidance throughout their educational and professional journeys.

We want to congratulate these students on their extraordinary accomplishments and look forward to their continued success.
