Exciting developments are underway for our Class of 2024, as we proudly announce that 39 seniors across our network have been honored as QuestBridge and Posse scholars! Over the past few weeks, 21 Cristo Rey schools have celebrated one or more local students receiving prestigious awards from these renowned organizations. These scholarship recipients will receive exceptional financial support and guidance to attend the colleges and universities where they have been matched.

 

Stephanie Arias, Vice President of College Initiatives at the Cristo Rey Network, emphasizes the vital importance of empowering young people to pursue their ambitious dreams and overcome any obstacles that might hinder their success.

 

 

The collective number of Class of 2024 scholarship recipients from QuestBridge and Posse programs has grown notably from the Cristo Rey Network’s Class of 2023. This year’s total of 39 scholars from 21 Cristo Rey schools is up from 25 scholars from 13 schools last year.

 

By blending college preparatory coursework with hands-on professional experience throughout high school, Cristo Rey seniors demonstrate remarkable academic achievements and acquire relevant skills that position them competitively for scholarship programs like these, which alleviate financial concerns and provide wraparound services that will enable them to pursue their educational journey with confidence.

Both programs believe that small, diverse, academically talented groups of students can be the catalyst for change, regardless of their economic backgrounds. Our 39 students from the Class of 2024 will join thousands of scholars ahead of them who have mobilized the programs’ offerings:

QuestBridge Match Scholarship recipients are granted a full four-year scholarship and early admission to one of the organization’s prestigious college partners. Awards are offered to students who have demonstrated academic achievements that meet or exceed the admissions standards of the partners, which includes being within the top 10% of their high school graduating class. 

The Posse Program focuses on the tenacity, ambition, and extraordinary talent needed to become the next generation of leaders. With over 10,000 scholars to date, Posse Scholars receive full-tuition leadership scholarships from the nation's top colleges and universities, engagement in a robust campus support program, and professional development opportunities through a career program.

The Cristo Rey Network congratulates our Class of 2024 scholarship awardees on their dedication to and continued focus on their postsecondary journey.
