Coca-Cola First Generation Scholars Program

Coca-Cola First Generation Scholarships at the University of Alabama provide opportunities for 12 students in each cohort to grow as scholars and as members of the university community. In addition to financial support, the scholarships provide a mentoring program, multiple opportunities for community service, personal counseling and advisement, and ongoing enrichment programs. Coca-Cola Scholars are also enrolled in UA's Student Support Services program. The selection committee requires a 3.0 high school GPA and a solid ACT score, while also considering other factors like financial need and a compelling personal situation. Interested high school students are encouraged to contact the program coordinator with any questions. Erika Mason-Imbody, Coordinator, may be reached at emasonimbody@aalan.ua.edu or by phone at 205-348-0731. The deadline for scholarship applications is February 1, 2013. Applications are available at the Verbena Guidance Office.
