Prestigious Scholarship Awarded to Manuel Garcia


We at LEAP are very proud of our LEAPster from Mount Vernon, Manuel Garcia, for being selected for admission to Washington and Lee University with a QuestBridge College Match scholarship. This wonderful scholarship will provide Manuel with up to $40,000 per year and it will cover the full cost of his room and board.

There were 267 finalists matched with QuestBridge College Match awards at 27 colleges, with a total of 15 students, Manuel included, admitted as Quest Scholars at Washington and Lee, a private liberal arts college in Virginia.

Once again, congratulations to Manuel for his hard work and dedication. We wish him all the luck.
