Prakriti Tandon, student of City Montessori School, Mahanagar Campus has secured admission in Cornell University with 100% Tata Trust Scholarship. She will join the College of Arts & Sciences at Cornell in August 2021.
Prakriti says, “I applied for need-based financial aid while seeking admission at Cornell, which was granted with 100% Tata Trust Scholarship and an offer letter for admission. I will opt for Chemistry major in undergrad as I have always wanted to pursue drug research in future”. She further says, “In school, I developed a keen interest in research for breakthroughs in pharma industry for the betterment of society. I have done a lot of social service because of which I was able to see the condition of people in orphanages, slums and old age homes. I want to work to improve their living standards.”
Daughter of a financial consultant father and librarian mother, Prakriti credits her teachers and parents for her achievement. “Seeing me excel in Sciences, my teachers always motivated me to work hard and seek admission in the best university for higher studies. I was ably guided by my school’s career counselor because of which I was able to choose the right place for my further studies”.
Dr. (Mrs.) Kalpana Tripathi, Principal of CMS Mahanagar Campus was overjoyed and said, “We always had high hopes from our brilliant student Prakriti but today she has made us extremely proud. I congratulate her for her outstanding achievement and wish the very best for her future.”
