When I was named a Coca-Cola Scholar 15 years ago, I had no idea that this community would become one of the most consistent and meaningful in my life -- so much larger than an undergraduate scholarship. Through this network, I've gained a community of gamechangers and sources of inspiration as well as a personal hype squad.

Over the years, I've had rich opportunities to serve as a Coach, on the Interview Committee, and now have the distinct honor to serve on the Alumni Board. Alongside my fellow Coke Scholars, we’re uniting with one shared vision: to give back to the Foundation and secure scholarships for future scholars. My personal goal is $1000. Would please consider supporting our efforts?

Since 1986, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation (CCSF) has awarded $87 million in scholarships to 7,050 scholars dedicated to leadership, service, and action that positively impacts others. Every year, 150 scholars are selected, and each is awarded a $20,000 scholarship.
