Here’s what our finalist had to say.
Aniyah Wells
Initially the questbridge application was very overwhelming when I saw the length of the application, but with the help of Mrs. Pritt, it became much easier. I’m extremely proud of the essays I wrote and the excitement of being selected as a finalist was well worth the work. The chance of being given a full ride to major in nursing is such a privilege. I hope to use it to become an ultrasound technician and continue the legacy of, proud to be from Pottstown :)

"When I learned I was selected as a finalist, I felt a sense of disbelief. It was a moment that affirmed my hard work had truly paid off. I hope to match with a school that allows me to major in finance and pursue my passion of becoming a businesswoman in the coming years focusing on financial and economic literacy. Eventually, I’d like to establish my own financial firm within a few years”
