2018 Coca-Cola Scholar Regional Finalists
We have our 253 Regional Finalists!
Reaching this level distinguishes these students as extraordinary leaders in their school and community. Nearly 90,000 applicants and more than 1,900 Semifinalists participated in our program - to be selected as a Regional Finalist is an outstanding accomplishment.
Regional Finalists will now participate in the next phase of our selection process, a 20-minute interview with our Regional Interview Committee, comprised of a Foundation staff member and previous Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship recipients.
After these interviews, 150 students will be named Coca-Cola Scholars and receive a $20,000 college scholarship.
