Students in the United States who are about to graduate from high school are eligible to apply for the achievement-based Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation Scholarship Programme. The programme, which was started in 1986, aims to provide students who exhibit exceptional leadership, volunteerism, and a dedication to improving their communities more power.

These 150 high school seniors will each receive a $20,000 college scholarship and join a family of 6,900+ alumni who are leading positive change in their communities and around the world.

A $20,000 prize awarded to high school seniors who graduate, the Coca-Cola Scholars Programme prize recognises academic achievement, leadership potential, and community service accomplishments. 150 Coca-Cola Scholars are chosen annually from a competitive pool to add to a generation-spanning network.

Recipients of the scholarship may renew for a maximum of three years, potentially accruing a total value of $80,000. Students that exemplify leadership, service, and creativity are drawn to the demanding application process, producing a class of Coca-Cola Scholars that make a lasting impression on society.
