Ryan Berenji '25 one of just 250 in country to be named a Coca-Cola Scholars Regional Finalist
Ryan Berenji '25 one of just 250 in country to be named a Coca-Cola Scholars Regional Finalist
Keith McShea

More than 105,000 students applied to be Coca-Cola Scholars.

Only 250 were selected as regional finalists.

Only one of those came from all of Upstate New York: Ryan Berenji ’25.

Coca-Cola Scholars are selected due to their outstanding community and school leadership, academics, involvement and service.

Berenji, a National Merit Scholarship finalist and CHS Ignatian Global Scholar, is founder of the Fishing Club and has been in the Guitar Ensemble, Jazz Band and Medical Professional Club among many other school and community activities.

The 250 Regional Finalists of the 105,000 students who applied represent just the top 0.3% of applicants.

Berenji was the only regional finalist among 11 from New York State who was from outside the New York City metropolitan area.

Students and families interested in the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked as the Buffalo area’s “Best Catholic School” by Business First – can learn more by reserving a spot at our Spring Open House on April 27 via canisiushigh.org/openhouse

This place is special. Let us show you why.

We mourn the loss of Joe Scully, a most devoted supporter of Canisius High School who dedicated himself to his alma mater over five decades. The longtime national sales manager was a recipient of our John Barnes Award and the CHS Service Award. He was 92.
