Raymond Franco

Congratulations to Schenectady High School Senior Raymond Franco, who has been awarded a full four-year scholarship to Boston University through the prestigious QuestBridge National College Match program.

QuestBridge is a national nonprofit organization that connects students with scholarships to the nation's top colleges and universities. This year, over 25,500 students applied to the National College Match, and only 7,288 were selected as finalists. Among them, 2,627 students were ultimately matched with a college partner, receiving full scholarships.

Raymond's journey with QuestBridge began last April when he was recognized as a College Prep Scholar, an honor awarded to only 3,911 students out of 16,000 applicants. This recognition provided him with valuable resources and support throughout his college application process.

Being matched to Boston University means that Raymond’s tuition, housing, meals, and other expenses will be fully covered for the next four years, allowing him to focus entirely on his education and future goals.

Please join us in celebrating this incredible milestone with Raymond and his family.
