In the Fall of 2018, the first cohort of the Coca-Cola First Generation and students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Scholars program (Coca-Cola Scholars Program) was established at 食色视频.

The cohort of eligible thirty-five incoming 食色视频 students were identified through an application and rigorous selection process to participate in this scholarship program.  The requirements as a participant are as follows:

  • Be and maintain enrollment as a full-time undergraduate at 食色视频
  • Demonstrate financial need when entering the program as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid
  • Be eligible to receive the HOPE Scholarship upon admission
  • Maintain a minimum adjusted GPA of 2.75 at 食色视频
  • Identify as a First-Generation college student matriculating in any major or as a student in a STEM major

The goal of the program is to provide financial assistance and student support services as scholars progress toward degree completion.

Coca-Cola Scholarship Program

Participants accepted into the Coca-Cola Scholarship Program receive $5000 annually for four to five years, depending on the required length of their selected degree program. Since participants must be HOPE-eligible, the scholarship funds are intended to supplement the HOPE funding and can be used for tuition, fees, books, and other academic related expenses.

Through this program, students have access to additional funding for education abroad, undergraduate research and/or experiential learning.  With these funds, scholars are encouraged to choose the experience which best suits their major and personal circumstances. 

Scholarships are not transferable to another institution.

Future Cohort

The Coca-Cola First-Generation Scholar Program will be recruiting a cohort for the Fall of 2025 semester. More details will follow on applications, and the recruitment process will available soon.
