Rigo Valdez and Columbia University are a match made on Quest Bridge.
The Villa Rica High School senior has been awarded a full four-year scholarship — worth $325,000 — to the Ivy League school.
To be considered for Quest Bridge’s National College Match, a student must be college bound, earn A’s in the most rigorous and challenging courses that are offered, and demonstrate strong writing skills and intellectual curiosity. More than 25,500 applications were submitted in 2024, and 2,627 scholarship recipients were matched with 52 of the top colleges in the U.S.
Valdez’s scholarship covers the full cost of attendance, including tuition, housing and food, books and supplies, and travel expenses. Valdez plans to study mechanical or aerospace engineering.
“I have had the pleasure of teaching Rigo for three years,” VRHS math teacher Janene Browning said. “As a freshman, I quickly recognized that he was sound in his mathematical thinking. To no surprise, he has excelled each year and has become quite the math student. I enjoyed watching him grow in his mathematical connections to the other subjects, but the most exciting part was watching his inner desire to know and understand grow.”
Villa Rica High School Principal Dr. Mike Bedosky said Valdez is a leader outside the classroom, as well.
“Rigo is always present and available to help and support the school,” Bedosky said. “I do not believe that I have ever seen him without a smile on his face, ready to take on the world. (He) will make an impact wherever he goes and whatever he does — He is an outstanding young man.”
