ERIE21 helped guide me through the Questbridge National College Match application. As a first-generation student, I had no idea where to start with the college process, but everyone was there to help me every step of the way. I joined ERIE21 in my sophomore year of high school, and I learned and grew from the incredible opportunities this program provides.
