This commitment to education enables the Foundation to support over 1,400 college students each year, with annual scholarships of $3.4 million through 2 nationally recognized programs on behalf of the Coca-Cola System. The mission of Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is to provide scholarship programs and lifelong enrichment opportunities in support of exceptional people’s thirst for knowledge and desire to make a difference in the world. Scholarship is not need based; Coca-Cola Scholars Scholarship is achievement based.

When choosing scholarship recipients, foundation selection committee looks for well-rounded, bright students who not only excel academically, but are also actively involved in their school. Coca-Cola Scholars selected to receive scholarships are leaders, who are passionate, service-oriented, and demonstrate a sustained commitment to bettering their community.

In addition to using funds for tuition at an accredited college or university, Scholars may also use their funds for other educational expenses as specified by the Foundation, such as on-campus housing, a computer, and textbooks.

In addition to monetary award, Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation greatly values staying connected to recipients even after college. Foundation hosts frequent receptions for Scholars throughout country and also invites Scholars from all classes to return to Atlanta for Leadership Summit every 5 years to engage in interactive sessions developed by alumni.
