Scholarship opportunities abound for students who devote their time and energy to helping those around them. One such opportunity is this week’s Scholarship of the Week. The Coca-Cola Scholars Program, one of the most generous and well-known community service scholarships, is awarded each year to high school students who have demonstrated academic achievement and community involvement.
Current high school seniors can win up to $20,000 towards their college education through this scholarship program. By demonstrating the ways they’ve served their communities and made a positive impact on the world, students can earn one of 250 four-year achievement-based scholarships from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. Finalists will also receive a trip to Atlanta for personal interviews and an awards ceremony.
