Holmdel High School senior Bill Zhang is
one of 150 national winners of the 33rd
annual Coca-Cola Scholars program.
According to the Coca-Cola website, this scholarship
program received 99,403 applications

were chosen to receive this extremely
competitive award.” In addition to a monetary
scholarship, Zhang will join a prestigious
community of scholarship recipients who are
currently “a powerful force for positive change
in the world.”

chosen, and I was lucky to be one of them!”
Since earning the award, Zhang has been
networking with other Coca-Cola Scholars and
learning about the work in which they are engaged
in their communities. He has plans for a

“Tackling the world's most pressing public

pursue in the future,” he said.
