Northeast State students Melanie Fischer, Rebecca Jones, and Cheyenne Ward were among 207 Phi Theta Kappa members recently named as 2020 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholars. Each will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
The Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholarship Program helps new Phi Theta Kappa members defray educational expenses while enrolled in associate degree programs.
Scholars are encouraged to assume leadership roles by participating in Society programs and are selected based on academic achievement, community service, and leadership potential. Nearly 700 applications were received.
“We congratulate Melanie, Rebecca, and Cheyenne for this impressive accomplishment,” said Northeast State President Bethany Bullock. “We are thankful to the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and Phi Theta Kappa for supporting our students and their academic efforts.”
The funds provided by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation not only aid college completion but also allow students to engage in Society programs and develop leadership skills to become future leaders in their communities.
“Research shows that Phi Theta Kappa members are four times more likely to complete a college degree than their peers,” said Dr. Monica Marlowe, Executive Director of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation. “The Leaders of Promise Scholarships recognize students for what they have achieved already and assure that financial need isn’t an obstacle to achieving their academic goals.”
Phi Theta Kappa is the premier honor society recognizing students’ academic achievement at associate degree-granting colleges and helping them grow as scholars and leaders. The Society comprises more than 3.5 million members and nearly 1,300 chapters in 11 nations, with 240,000 active members in the nation’s colleges. Learn more at ptk.org.
