Maslow Scholarship Program Announces Sophia Bald as 2025 College Scholarship Recipient
The scholarship provides support to Red Bank Regional High School students in defraying the costs of their college education.
The Jonathan Maslow Scholarship program is thrilled to announce that Sophia Bald, a graduate of Red Bank Regional High School (RBRHS), is the recipient of its 2025 college scholarship. She plans to enroll at Lafayette College in the fall.
“I am passionate about computer science and committed to pursuing a career in the field. My experiences, like developing an app in class and competing in CyberPatriot and Capture the Flag events, have fueled my drive to learn,” wrote Sophia in her application. “Being a student-athlete has taught me discipline and time management, which I’ll carry with me into college as I major in Computer Science and play Division 1 tennis.”
The Community Foundation of New Jersey (CFNJ) administers the scholarship program, which aims to help students achieve their educational and career goals. Scholarships are awarded to students exhibiting exceptionally high levels of written proficiency; creativity and originality; and interest in local or national environmental causes, journalism, or creative writing.
