As a College Prep Scholar, Fuentes’ application will carry over for the National College Match program when he is a senior. That program gives students a head-start on applying for a full, four-year scholarship to QuestBridge college partners. According to QuestBridge, College Prep Scholars are historically five times more likely than other applicants to receive scholarships through the National College Match.
