Help My Nephew Attend the QuestBridge Conference

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out as a proud aunt to share some exciting news about my amazing nephew and ask for your support in helping him take advantage of a life-changing opportunity.

This year, my nephew—an incredibly hard-working and high-achieving high school junior—was accepted into the prestigious QuestBridge College Prep Scholars Program. This program supports exceptional students from low-income backgrounds by providing the resources, knowledge, and confidence they need to apply to top-tier colleges. Out of thousands of applicants nationwide, my nephew was selected as a College Prep Scholar, a true honor that recognizes his academic excellence and potential.

As part of this program, he has been invited to attend the QuestBridge National College Exploration Conference at Pomona College in Claremont, California, an amazing opportunity that allows students to:

Learn about top colleges’ generous financial aid policies

Explore campuses and envision life as a college student

Connect with peers from similar backgrounds and goals

Discover opportunities through the QuestBridge National College Match and Scholars Network

The conference itself is free to attend, but travel expenses to and from the event are not covered. The estimated cost of travel is $2500.00, and that’s where we could use your help.

I’ve set up this GoFundMe to raise funds so he can attend this conference and take one step closer to achieving his dreams. Any contribution—no matter how big or small—will make a meaningful difference.

If you’re able to donate, you can do so right here on GoFundMe. If you have any questions or would like to support in another way, feel free to reach out to us at [phone redacted]

Thank you so much for reading this and for considering a donation. Your support means the world to our family—and especially to a young man working so hard to build a bright future.

With gratitude,

Monica McGill
