Northampton Community College (NCC) students Elina (Leah) Braverman and Andrew Schlager, have been selected as 2023 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholars and will each receive a $1,000 scholarship.
The Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholarship Program helps new Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) members defray educational expenses while enrolled in associate degree programs. Scholars are encouraged to assume leadership roles by participating in PTK programs and are selected based on scholastic achievement, community service, and leadership potential. Nearly 1,100 applications were received.
A total of $213,000 will be awarded this year through the Leaders of Promise Scholarship Program. The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation provides $200,000 in funding for the scholarships, with $25,000 set aside for members who are veterans or active members of the United States military. The remaining amount is supported by donations to the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation, which provides multiple Global Leaders of Promise Scholarships earmarked for international students.
President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Jane Hale Hopkins, said, “We are proud to partner with Phi Theta Kappa to make it possible for more deserving students to achieve their educational goals and support tomorrow’s leaders of the global community.”
The funds provided by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation not only aid college completion but also give students the opportunity to engage in PTK programs and develop leadership skills to become future leaders in their communities.
NCC President, Dr. David A. Ruth said, “These scholarships help students build on their potential, and the college is so excited to see what they will achieve next.”
