Leslie Brown, a sophomore at Western, has been
awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
Brown is among 400 recipients nationwide who have been recognized in
this year’s program. Since 2000, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation
has committed $400,000 annually in the form of scholarships to
students attending two-year degree granting institutions.
"The Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program gives support
and encouragement to an under-served population of college
students," said J. Mark Davis, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars
Foundation. "This program is an extension of our long-standing
commitment to college education throughout the United States. These
fine students, who often juggle school, work and family, continue to
give back to their communities through volunteer service."
