<p>Applicants may not:</p>

<p>Be children or grandchildren of employees, officers or owners of Coca-Cola bottling companies, The Coca-Cola Company, Company divisions or subsidiaries.</p>

<p>application is all online how do you send them recommendation letter?</p>

<p>no recommendations for first round!</p>

<p>is it applicable for Indians too?</p>

<p>Yes, the Coca-Cola scholarship does not discriminate by race!</p>

<p>Getting pumped/nervous at the same time filling out my application. It’s really nerve-wracking, because all I can think as I finally put everything down on paper is that it doesn’t really look all that spectacular. Eeek. </p>

<p>Makes me wonder if it’s worth applying.</p>

<p>What are some examples of community service awards? (Page 3 of application)</p>

<p>For clubs, does participant mean member? As in, I was in NHS but was not an officer. </p>

<p>Would like some clarification on the “none” option as well. None as in no officer position, or not in the club at all?</p>

<p>If a student participated in MITES, where should he/she record this on the application?</p>

<p>Do you get money for making it passed the first round or is it just a one shot winners get this much money kind of deal</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’m not an expert on the scholarship but I’ll answer your questions as best as I can.</p>

<p>Rosin333 - Something like the Best Buy Scholarship Program or The President’s Volunteer Service Award</p>

<p>Aegise - I think participant means member, not sure about the “none” option</p>

<p>Milbry - Not sure what MITES is.</p>

<p>Sherwoodbrad - You must pass a couple rounds to win the scholarship money</p>

<p>Not a fan of this app. I can’t really put any of the activities outside of school that mean most to me.</p>

<p>And after filling out the entire app today, I just noticed how absolutely BARREN it is. Quite depressing.</p>

<p>I will appreciate if someone can validate which one is genuine website I do not hit phony web site.</p>

<p>JamalKids: The second link for the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation that you posted is the correct one. In fact, the first one won’t even load.</p>

<p>As for scholarships dot com, I am not sure.</p>

<p>Is my son therefore not eligible? Or does this relate to a current employee?</p>

<p>Could someone help clarify the question “number of honors” courses at my school? Our sequence follows AP, Advance, Honors, CP. I have taken all of the highest levels, I checked my profile and nothing is listed either. TIA</p>
