Lufkin High School seniors Ian Falcon, Maleigha Edens, Kristina Aji and Justice Jackson are finalists in the QuestBridge National College Match, which can be a pathway to a top Ivy League college. Through this college and scholarship application process, finalists can apply for free to the nation’s best colleges and be considered for early admission and a full four-year scholarship.

In 2023, out of over 20,800 applications, 6,683 students were selected as National College Match Finalists.

Finalists exhibit outstanding academic achievement and qualify financially.

Finalists submitted the Match Requirements to each school they ranked by Nov. 1 in order to be considered for the full four-year Match Scholarship.

“Our Questbridge finalists are talented, motivated and excel academically,” said Julie McManus, LHS principal. “We anxiously await the final match decisions that will be delivered on Dec. 1.”
