Bellport High School junior Keshavi Shah is on her way to the top, having recently earned two impressive honors. She has been named a QuestBridge College Prep Scholar and earned the Rensselaer Medal Award.
Shah earned both honors for her excellence in academics and dedication to her education. She was one of 3,911 applicants out of a pool of 16,000 to earn the QuestBridge award. As a recipient of the Rensselaer Medal Award, she will be provided with a $40,000 merit scholarship per year if she is accepted and attends Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
“Both of these awards were unexpected and very much appreciated,” said Shah, who intends to study mechanical engineering in college.
Shah is a member of her school’s National, Math and Science honor societies, as well as Key Club, and participates in Stony Brook University’s Women in Science and Engineering Program. Outside of school, she interns at a STEM-based nonprofit organization and enjoys baking, cooking and painting.
The South Country School District extends its congratulations to Keshavi Shah on her recent successes.
