Congratulations to Prathamesh Trivedi for qualifying as a semifinalist for the Coca-Cola Scholars Program. The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is a competitive and highly-regarded merit-based national scholarship for which less than 2% of over 100,000 applicants qualify.

Prathamesh demonstrates academic excellence, leadership, and service in school and community activities, taking active leadership roles in many school clubs including President of DECA, Co-President of Math Club, Co-Captain of Academic Decathlon, and Co-President of the Modern Physics Club, during which he led Morris Hills to our first 1st Place victory in 15 years of competition at the NJAAPT Physics Olympics and 3rd Place at the Yale Physics Olympics.

He was also named the 1st Place Individual in the Region for Academic Decathlon and qualified for the DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Leadership Conference. In an online post, Prathamesh states that he is “thankful to the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation for this honor and [is] looking forward to continued success.” He would also like to thank his friends, family, and teachers who allowed him to succeed academically. In the future, Prathamesh would like to pursue a career in quantum computing. Kudos to him for this amazing achievement.
