We’re celebrating 2 big milestones – Coca‑Cola’s 140th birthday and 40 years of the Coca‑Cola Scholars Foundation! 🎉 For 4 decades, we’ve believed in young leaders, invested in their potential, and built a community rooted in service, purpose, and possibility.
Founded in 1986 by Coca‑Cola bottlers to honor the Company’s first 100 years, CCSF has grown into so much more than a scholarship. It’s a lifelong family of Scholars, alumni, partners, and supporters who show up for one another and open doors for what’s next.
As we honor the past and invest in the future, we’re excited to launch our new engagement site for and alumni – a central place to stay involved, support Scholars, and keep strengthening this incredible community.
For those who are able, you can mark our 40th anniversary with a commemorative gift, honoring the Foundation’s impact and investing in what’s next. The links for both the engagement and giving sites are at http://linktr.ee/cokescholars.
This year, we welcomed the Coke Scholars Class of 2026 after our most competitive cycle ever – 107,000 students applied for 150 spots. To our newest Scholars, congratulations. We couldn’t be prouder for you to join this lifelong family. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who has helped shape CCSF across 4 decades. Cheers to 40 years of leadership, service, friendship, and opportunity – and to all that our Scholars will become.
