Posted On: Thursday, December 09, 2010

Austin Pierce, a student at Tabb High School (THS), has been named semifinalist for the 2011 Class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program. He ranks with approximately 2,100 high school seniors who are in the running for $3 million in college scholarships that the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation will award in spring 2011. With the 2011 class, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation will have provided more than 4,700 young scholars nationwide with over $44 million in scholarships. Students are selected to advance to the next phase based on academic excellence, leadership and achievement demonstrated in school and community activities. As semi-finalists, students must submit additional information that will be reviewed in January 2011 by a committee comprised of 30 educators from high schools and universities throughout the United States. If advanced, Austin will be among 250 finalists who will travel to Atlanta April 14th to 17th to attend the Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend. During their visit, they will attend a final interview process that will determine whether they are designated as either a National or Regional Scholar. The 50 National Scholars will each receive a $20,000 scholarship award, while the Regional Scholars will receive a $10,000 scholarship.
