The All-USA Community College Academic Team and the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team, in association with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, will award nearly $400,000 in scholarships to outstanding community college students in 2015-2016.
Campuses have the opportunity to nominate up to two students to participate in this competition.
In addition to recognition by USA TODAY, Follett, and Coca-Cola, nominees to these programs are recognized in All-State Academic Team programs held in 38 states. All-State Team programs may offer students academic scholarships, stipends, newspaper coverage, medallions and/or certificates.
At this time, the All-USA Community College Academic Team and the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team is seeking qualified applications. In selecting nominees to represent Hudson Valley, please consider the eligibility criteria to determine who might be a good fit for the scholarship. The scholarships look to award students with outstanding academic rigor and grade point averages; participation in honors programs; awards, honors, and recognition for academic achievement, and service to the college and community. Letters of recommendations are required.
In addition, an essay is the focal point of the application.
