A prestigious program, the Coca-Cola Scholarship, provides funding to outstanding American high school seniors who demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, and a commitment to community service. This national fellowship, established by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, encourages leadership, community involvement, and academic accomplishment.
The initiative gives 150 scholarships to seniors in high school who excel academically each year. Unlike other corporate scholarships, Coca-Cola employees and their children are not eligible to apply, which is noteworthy. This is a unique chance only for those who have excelled.
