The field has already been narrowed down from more than 79,000 applicants.
If Ceja advances in the competition, she will be among 250 finalists who will travel to Atlanta in April to attend the Coca-Cola Scholars weekend, where she will undergo a final interview to determine whether she will be a regional or national scholar.
