Prestigious National Scholarship Program Awards Hawken Senior $20,000 for College
Congratulations to Sarah Senkfor ’16, who has been recognized as one of the country’s most outstanding high school leaders by the Coca‑Cola Scholars Foundation and has been awarded a $20,000 college scholarship.
As a member of the 28th class of Coca‑Cola Scholars, Sarah has demonstrated superior leadership and dedication to her community and was selected from a pool of over 87,000 initial applicants after being evaluated on several rounds of essays, recommendations, and interviews.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, a joint effort of Coca-Cola Bottlers across America and The Coca-Cola Company, is one of the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship programs of its kind in the United States, and was created in 1986 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola.
“Sarah Senkfor is part of a diverse group of extraordinary high school seniors that have shown a steadfast commitment to educational excellence, leadership and service to the school and community,” said Claude Nielsen, Chairman of the Board of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and President and CEO of Coca-Cola Bottling Company United. “The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is proud to name Ms. Senkfor as a 2016 Coca-Cola Scholar.”
On March 31, Sarah will join other Coca-Cola Scholars as they travel to Atlanta, the international headquarters of The Coca-Cola Company, for Scholars Weekend. During this four-day weekend, the Scholars will participate in a Leadership Development Institute to further develop their leadership skills, tour local landmarks, engage with former Coca-Cola Scholars, and participate in a group community service project.
In addition to receiving a $20,000 college scholarship, Sarah will be welcomed into a vibrant and growing family of alumni that fosters lasting connections with each other and the Foundation. In 2006, a Coca-Cola Scholar Alumni Advisory Board was created so that alumni could make an even greater positive impact together.
