Mount Carmel High School senior Aiden McBroom has earned a historic academic honor. On December 1st, McBroom was named a QuestBridge National College Match Scholar, receiving a full four-year scholarship to Harvard College.
According to school officials, McBroom is believed to be the first student in MCHS history to attend an Ivy League university. The scholarship covers the complete cost of attendance at Harvard—including tuition, housing, meals, fees, and other expenses.
McBroom, a first-generation, low-income student, says the opportunity is life-changing and made possible by the support of his family, teachers, and the Mount Carmel community.
At Harvard, he plans to study mathematics and philosophy with hopes of entering the field of quantitative finance. McBroom also runs a local tutoring and music-lesson business and is active in tennis, scholar bowl, and the CEO program.
