Mollie Webb, a senior at Barren County High School, has been named a Regional Finalist for the 2024 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program from where 250 high school seniors were selected as Regional Finalists from a pool of more than 103,800. Finalists were selected from across the country based on their academic excellence, leadership, and service demonstrated in school and community activities. Less than a quarter of 1% of applicants made it to this point of selection.
Mollie has moved to the final selection phase, regional interviews. After these interviews are conducted in early February, 150 of the Regional Finalists will be designated as Coca-Cola Scholars and attend Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend in Atlanta April 25-28, 2024, where they will be the guests of honor at the 36th annual Coca-Cola Scholars Banquet and participate in the Coca-Cola Scholars Leadership Development Institute facilitated by program alumni. Collectively, the Coca Cola Scholars Foundation will award $3.1 million in college scholarships to these outstanding young leaders.
In addition to receiving college scholarships, those students selected as Coca-Cola Scholars will be welcomed into a vibrant and growing community of alumni that has become a powerful force for positive change in the world. Through networking, collaborations, and friendships, the group strives to make a greater impact together. Recent initiatives include a podcast called The SIP (The Coke Scholars Ignite Podcast) and the eighth year of a coaching program that partners seasoned alumni with first-year Scholars as they transition to college. Every 5 years, all alumni are invited to a Coca-Cola Scholars Leadership Summit.
