The students were selected amongst 87,000 graduating seniors representing 23,000 schools. The National Selection Committee was in charge of choosing the class of 2007 Coca-Cola Scholars. They were evaluated on the basis of their academic achievements, community leadership and the desire for success. Fifty of the students were selected for the National Scholarship of $20,000 and 200 were selected for the Regional scholarship of $10,000. The scholarship program is sponsored by the Coca Cola Scholars Foundation, a joint partnership of Coca-Cola Bottlers across America and the Coca-Cola Company. The program is one of the largest corporate-sponsored scholarship programs in the United States.
