Scholarships for College-Bound StudentsCoca-Cola Scholars
Since 1986, we have been able to support over 1,400 college students per year, with scholarships totaling up to $3.4 million!
1. Seniors in high schools throughout the United States who meet the eligibility requirements may apply each year for one of 250 four-year, achievement-based scholarships.
2. Approximately 2,200 applicants will be selected as Semifinalists and notified by mail and email around December 1. Semifinalists must then complete a secondary application, including essays, official transcripts, and two letters of recommendation. Semifinalist applications are due by mid-January. Our Program Review Committee will select 250 Finalists to advance to the final interview phase. Notifications are sent mid-February.
3. In April, the 250 Finalists are invited to Atlanta for personal interviews. The Finalists are interviewed by a National Selection Committee representing outstanding leaders in business, government, education and the arts. 50 students are then designated as National Scholars and receive awards of $20,000 for college; 200 students are designated as Regional Scholars and receive awards of $10,000 for college.

Corporate Scholarships
Numerous large corporations give back to the community by offering scholarships for undergraduate students. The bigger the corporation, the larger the chance of scholarship offers. Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Toyota, you name it, they offer scholarships. The benefit of corporate scholarships is that eligibility criteria tend to be unrestrictive. Corporations want to reach as many people as possible, so their scholarships are open to various students. This obviously increases applicant competition, a negative side effect corporations try to offset by offering either lucrative awards or a large number awards. Worries about competition are warranted, but if you’re looking for straightforward requirements, corporate scholarships are a good bet.
Private Scholarships
Many individuals and small organizations also offer scholarships to help students pay for an education. It is not uncommon for private scholarship providers to attach detailed eligibility criteria to their awards, but, contrary to popular belief, they don’t always concentrate on GPA. In fact, private scholarships are frequently made available to students majoring in a particular
subject or to those who have faced certain obstacles. For example, a pilot may begin an annual scholarship fund to assist aviation students in overcoming the financial obstacles he or she faced as a student. It is always a good idea to take advantage of scholarships with detailed eligibility criteria if you are among those eligible. Finding such awards may be time consuming without assistance, but using the free scholarship search at Scholarships.com will fix that.

Scholarships for the Average Student
Since 1999, we have helped millions of students, parents and counselors search 2.7 million local, state & national college scholarships & grants worth over 19 billion dollars!
However shocking, it’s utterly true: scholarship opportunities for average students from every walk of life are available. Scholarships are financial gifts; many given by sponsors who made it big after college and created funds for students who were among the untalented, uncoordinated, and unqualified in their class. Such sponsors know what it’s like to be underestimated and they want to give such 'average' students a chance at attending college.
