Trenton School District

MedhaUSA’s initiative to grant Merit Scholarship Award to exceptional students of the Trenton school district. Our goal is to motivate students in New Jersey and help them afford college expenses. We consider their academic potential and aspiration for higher studies, as well as involvement with the community. These young scholars are shining examples of why we should believe in the future. 

MedhaUSA awards annual scholarships to High School graduates enrolled in higher studies based on their academic potential and aspiration for higher studies, as well as in their involvement with community activities.

This evening MedhaUSA ( a sub-committee of Kallol of NJ) was honored to present its first ever Merit Scholarship Award to three exceptional students of the Trenton school district .

The students of school districts such as Trenton could teach us a thing or two about rising up in the face of adversity and forging ahead to achieve their dreams . It was heartwarming to note that all these students not only excelled in academics but were also actively involved in community service throughout their four years of high school .

Medha hopes to expand its scholarship initiatives in the future ! We are counting on the continued support of our friends and well-wishers!
