During times of change and stress, it takes courage to make big decisions. Our high school seniors are stepping up to the challenge as they navigate college decisions this year. We are so proud of all the BEAM students who are starting college in the fall!
We're pleased to announce the schools that the following students will be attending:

BEAM students were also awarded many scholarships and other forms of financial aid:
Akriti, Danielys, Iovanni, and Luis were selected to be part of the QuestBridge National College Match Program, which provides a full-ride scholarship through college to students who are accepted at one of the program’s partnering schools.
Luis was awarded a Gates Scholarship, which provides funding for the full cost of attendance that is not already covered by other financial aid and the expected family contribution.
Angel was named a Posse Scholar in recognition of outstanding leadership potential. Posse Scholars receive full-tuition scholarships.
Deja earned a spot at Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York; promising students receive academic and financial support to realize their leadership potential and graduate debt free.
Grace was admitted to Sophie Davis Biomedical School/CUNY School of Medicine, which offers a 7-year BS/MD program.
Numerous other students were offered amazing financial aid packages by the colleges they will attend. The aid packages provided by Bowdoin, Columbia, University of Chicago, and Yale are particularly generous, as these schools meet 100% of demonstrated need (without loans). Some scholarships are even generous enough to cover additional expenses that may come up, such as flights to and from home at the start and end of each semester.
Our seniors did an incredible amount of work to get through high school. Congratulations to you all! 11th graders: now it's your turn and BEAM is here for you.
