New Century Scholars
The student receiving the highest All-USA Community College Academic Team application score in each state is named a Coca-Cola New Century Scholar and represents his/her state at the New Century Scholars Presidents Breakfast at the American Association of Community Colleges Convention. In addition, one student from a Phi Theta Kappa chapter in Canada and one student from a Phi Theta Kappa chapter in the other seven sovereign nations where Phi Theta Kappa chapters exist are named Coca-Cola New Century Scholars. Each Coca-Cola New Century Scholar will receive a $2,000 scholarship and each institution will receive special recognition at the American Association of Community Colleges Convention.
The Coca-Cola New Century Scholars program is sponsored annually by the American Association of Community Colleges, The Coca-Cola Foundation, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, and Phi Theta Kappa.
