Coca-Cola Scholars Program
Scholarship · Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation · Online
Achievement-based scholarship for seniors with a leadership and service record.
Our take
Atlanta-based, $20,000, 150 scholars from about 100,000 applicants. The first-round form is short, so the odds are bad but the cost of trying is low.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
