KINGSFORD — Abigail Przeslakowski, a senior at Kingsford High School, has been named a semifinalist for the 2025 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program.

This year, over 1,300 semifinalists were chosen from among more than 105,000 fully submitted applications due to their outstanding community and school leadership, involvement, academics, and community service. Among these applicants, 150 high school seniors will be selected to receive a $20,000 college scholarship.

Przeslakowski is the daughter of Pawel and Blanka Przeslakowski of Breitung Township. She is an exceptional student who is ranked number 1 in her class with an impressive 4.008 GPA.

Przeslakowski has participated in a variety of extracurricular activities throughout high school, where she has been able to demonstrate her leadership abilities, making her a standout amongst her peers.

Przeslakowski’s outstanding time management skills allow her to excel in her studies while also holding down multiple jobs and volunteering extensively.

She is admired by her peers, teachers, and administrators for her determined spirit and positive influence on the Kingsford High School community.

“We are thrilled to recognize these extraordinary young people for their achievements,” said Jane Hale, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. “They are inspiring examples of what it means to be a leader, a scholar, and a good citizen. We are confident that they will continue to make a positive impact on their communities and the world.”

Once the semifinalist applications are reviewed, 250 regional finalists will be chosen to continue through the selection process.

Notifications of the committee’s decision will be sent via email in early January 2025.

These regional finalists will then participate in interviews via Zoom in late January or early February resulting in the identification of 150 Coca-Cola Scholars recipients. The final stage of the 2025 Scholars selection process is attending Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend in Atlanta April 3-6, 2025.
