Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation Each year the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation awards 250 scholarships valued from $4,000 to $20,000 to high school seniors. "Coca-Cola Scholarships are awarded based on character, personal merit and commitment. Merit is demonstrated through leadership in school, civic and extracurricular activities, academic achievement, and motivation to serve and succeed."
The selection process is completed in 3 phases. In the first phase, the application "seeks a record of the student's overall involvement in school and community affairs as well as academic success and employment." The second phase requires "detailed biographical data, an essay, a secondary school report and personal recommendations." Finally, "in the spring of each program year, Finalists attend the National Competition in Atlanta, convened by the Foundation at its expense, to determine recipients of each level of award. The National Selection Committee designates 50 Finalists as National Scholars and 200 Finalists as Regional Scholars." This year, students can apply for the scholarship online after Labor Day. Applications for the first phase of the process are due by October 31. Homeschooled students are encouraged to apply.
