Subject: Reaching out about the National College Match application
Hi [Student Name],
I wanted to reach out to tell you about an organization that could be very beneficial to you as you prepare for the college application process. QuestBridge is a nonprofit that connects academically outstanding students from low-income backgrounds with admission and full four-year scholarships to 50 top colleges through the National College Match.
I encourage you to learn more about the National College Match application, which opens in late summer each year and closes in late September. This is a college admission and scholarship process through which high-achieving, low-income students can be "matched" — admitted early with full four-year scholarships to QuestBridge college partners. The Match Scholarship is offered as part of a generous financial aid package provided by the college, and it is worth over $200,000. More information about eligibility is available at www.questbridge.org. Please check it out! The deadline to apply is September 26, 2023.
Best,
[Your Name]
