Fairfield High School senior Rojita Rai has been awarded a full four-year scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania through the prestigious QuestBridge National College Match program.
Rai is among 2,626 students nationwide selected as Match Scholarship Recipients, the largest cohort in QuestBridge’s history. Recipients boast an average GPA of 3.94, with 92 percent ranking in the top 10 percent of their class. Notably, 83 percent are the first in their families to attend a four-year college in the United States.
The Match Scholarship, which covers tuition, housing, books, and travel expenses without loans or parental contributions, aims to make top-tier education accessible.
“Growing up, I created high aspirations for myself, unsure if I was even going to accomplish them,” Rojita said. “After four long years of endless endeavors, I was blessed to receive this scholarship to a prestigious institution. QuestBridge helped me get one step closer to my goal, one that would have remained in my imagination otherwise.”
“It’s a huge achievement, especially to get matched with an Ivy League [college],” said Amanda Schur, Rojita’s school counselor.
QuestBridge Co-Founder and CEO Ana Rowena Mallari praised the students’ achievements. “These scholars will contribute a rich diversity of perspectives and experiences to our college partners, enhancing the vibrancy of their campus communities,” she said.
This year, 25,500 students applied to the QuestBridge program, with 7,288 finalists competing for scholarships from 52 top colleges. Most applicants come from households with an annual income under $65,000, and nearly 90 percent qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.
