Since inception, the Coca-Cola Scholars Program has awarded more than 6,750 students with over $81 million total in scholarships. Eleven exceptional high school seniors from Coca-Cola UNITED’s local bottling footprint were among the 2023 class of Coke Scholars.

The movement to establish the Coke Scholars program was led by former Coca-Cola UNITED CEO Crawford Johnson III in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Coca-Cola in 1986. Coke Scholars later inspired the Johnson family in 1993 to establish a similar program for children, stepchildren, grandchildren and step-grandchildren of Coca-Cola UNITED associates. Each year, graduating seniors of UNITED employees are chosen to receive a Crawford Johnson III and Walker Johnson Jones Scholarship, renewable at the college of their choice for four years.
