● How do we communicate our values each year to 150

new Scholars who may attend as many as 60 different

colleges and universities?

● How do we embed our values in our network of nearly

6000 Scholars around the world since 1989?

The mission of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is to

provide scholarship programs and lifelong enrichment

opportunities in support of exceptional peoples’ thirst for

knowledge and their desire to make a difference in the

world.

Recruiting and Selection

● Mobilize Scholars and alumni to promote our application

through direct contact, social media, etc.

● Enhanced recruiting efforts to encourage applications

from those who might not think they are the right fit

● Alumni play a key role in the final selection:

● Help read and rate more than 2,000 Semifinalist

applications over a 4-day reading weekend

● 3 to 4 alumni conduct 250 Regional Finalist

interviews in 6 to 7 locations around US

Recruiting and Selection

Application questions and interviews align around our core

criteria of effective leadership, community service with

impact, and academic accomplishment.

There should be no question based on what we ask of the

applicants and finalists what we value as an organization.
