PTK SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED TO MCC STUDENT
Alicia Marcum, a health science technology major from Bowling Green, Kentucky, currently enrolled at Madisonville Community College, has been named a 2023 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholar. Out of nearly 1,100 applications, she will be one of the 213 recipients of a $1,000 scholarship. This program, run by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation in partnership with Phi Theta Kappa, aims to support new Phi Theta Kappa members in associate degree programs, based on scholastic achievement, leadership potential, and community service.
“The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation has a long history of providing financial assistance to outstanding students at community colleges,” said Jane Hale Hopkins, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. “We are proud to partner with Phi Theta Kappa to make it possible for more deserving students to achieve their educational goals and support tomorrow’s leaders of the global community.” The funds provided by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation not only aid college completion but also give students the opportunity to engage in Society programs and develop leadership skills to become future leaders in their communities.
Alicia shared, “Receiving the 2023 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholarship is a tremendous blessing and honor. This scholarship is not just a financial boost; it is also a recognition that our past does not dictate our potential. With gratitude in my heart and determination, I will use this scholarship not only to further my education but to amplify my impact on the lives of children and families in need of intervention and services.”
