Coca-Cola Scholarship semifinalists recognized by Plainview-Old Bethpage

Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District seniors Daniel Jung and Alexa Milana have been named semifinalists in the 2027 Coca-Cola Scholars Program, a national scholarship program recognizing students for leadership and service in their schools and communities. Jung and Milana were selected from more than 113,000 applicants nationwide, joining a group of 1,227 semifinalists. The semifinalists represent about 1.08 percent of applicants. As semifinalists, Jung and Milana will submit additional application materials, including essays, transcripts and recommendations, for review by an independent selection committee. In January, 250 finalists will be selected to participate in online interviews. From that group, 150 students will be named Coca-Cola Scholars in February and receive $20,000 college scholarships. The selected scholars will also join a nationwide network of alumni, with opportunities for professional development, mentorship and collaboration.
