Coca Cola Scholarship Application 2022

The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is a well-known and well-respected corporate scholarship program in the United States. We will be giving you details about the scholarship application in 2022.

The application for the 2023 Coca-Cola Scholars Program (open to those graduating high school in the 2022-2023 school year) will open in August 2022.

The initiative was established in 1986 as a combined effort of Coca-Cola Bottlers and The Coca-Cola Company to mark the 100th anniversary of their flagship brand. Through college scholarships, it leaves a lasting legacy for the education of tomorrow’s leaders.

In its initial year, the program gave four-year fellowships to 150 graduating seniors who planned to attend college. Later, the grants developed into $20,000 scholarships for 50 students per year and $10,000 scholarships for 200 students per year ($5,000 per year for four years and $2,500 per year for four years, respectively).

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation now annually distributes $20,000 prizes to 150 incoming college freshmen.

Since its inception, the Coca-Cola Scholars program has awarded over $38 million in college scholarships to over 4,500 students.

The Foundation also gives $3 million to students entering college via its “Four-Year Award for Seniors” program and $400,000 to students attending two-year colleges through its “Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship” program.
