At Minds Matter Colorado, we believe that every student deserves access to life-changing educational opportunities, regardless of financial circumstances. This belief is at the heart of our mission—and it aligns perfectly with QuestBridge, which connects exceptional students from low-income backgrounds with top colleges and full-ride scholarships.
We are proud to announce that two of our outstanding seniors, Abdel A. (West ’25) and Amen T. (West ’25), have been named QuestBridge Match Scholarship Recipients.
QuestBridge is a national nonprofit that connects high-achieving, low-income students with leading colleges and universities. Through the highly competitive National College Match program, students receive full four-year scholarships to top institutions, covering the full cost of attendance—including tuition, housing, meals, books, and travel expenses.
The National College Match is a highly competitive college admission and scholarship process that connects high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds with some of the nation’s top colleges and universities.This year, out of more than 25,500 applicants, 7,288 students were awarded Match Scholarships to QuestBridge’s partner colleges and universities. The selection process is rigorous, and being chosen as a Match Scholar is a testament to the academic excellence, perseverance, and ambition of the students selected.
We are thrilled to share that:
- Abdel A. (West ’25) will be attending Yale University
- Amen T. (West ’25) will be attending Boston University
Across the Minds Matter network, 31 students were named QuestBridge finalists this year, with 17 earning full scholarships to prestigious colleges and universities. Minds Matter Colorado is incredibly proud to support students like Abdel and Amen as they take this next step toward their academic and professional futures.
Congratulations to our 2025 QuestBridge Scholars! We look forward to seeing all that they accomplish in the years ahead.
