Cypress Woods HS Senior Selected as 2023 Coca-Cola Scholar
Cypress Woods High School senior Victoria Zhang was recently selected as a Class of 2023 Coca-Cola Scholar.
Zhang is one of 150 seniors from across the nation to receive the designation of a Coca-Cola Scholar and will receive a $20,000 college scholarship. Less than 1% of applicants were chosen for the Class of 2023. The final 150 seniors, who were selected from an initial pool of more than 91,000 applications, exemplify superior leadership, service and academics.
“It is truly an incredible honor to join this fantastic family,” Zhang said. “Everyone is dedicated to making a positive change both within their community and the world at large. I am inspired by all the amazing people I have met through the Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get here and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
In addition to receiving college scholarships, students selected as Coca-Cola Scholars will have opportunities to network, collaborate and take part in a coaching program with other Coca-Cola Scholars and Coca-Cola Scholars alumni.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship program in the U.S. With the addition of the 2023 class of scholars, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation will have provided more than 6,750 Coke Scholars nationwide with more than $81 million in scholarships since 1986.
