Lindenhurst High School Student is QuestBridge Scholar

Lindenhurst High School Student Khrystyna Blyshchak has been named a QuestBridge Scholar and is receiving a full, four-year scholarship to Tufts University in Massachusetts.

Khrystyna was one of more than 20,800 high school seniors nationwide who applied to QuestBridge during the 2022-2023 school year, and she is one of only 2,242 finalists who were ultimately recognized as Match Scholarship recipients this year. Students who received the scholarship had an average unweighted GPA of 3.92, and 86 percent are in the top ten percent of their graduating class. Khrystyna plans to study computer science at Tufts.

“Khrystyna’s story is one that comprises hard work, overcoming adversity and becoming one of the highest academic achievers in her class,” said Lindenhurst High School Guidance Counselor Matthew Ward, noting that she did not speak English when her family emigrated from Ukraine to America. “She is truly a very bright, incredibly resourceful and well-rounded young person. This scholarship is well deserved.”
