PHIL CAMPBELL, ALA. — Northwest-Shoals Community College (NW-SCC) sophomore student, Kaylen Bishop, has been selected as a 2016 Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholar and will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Bishop, a native of Haleyville, was selected by a panel of independent judges from more than 1,100 applicants. Coca-Cola Leaders of Promise Scholars are selected based on outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated leadership potential.

This scholarship is designed to provide new Phi Theta Kappa members with financial resources to help defray educational expenses while enrolled in a two-year college while also encouraging participation in Society programs.

Bishop is currently majoring in secondary education, with a focus on History, on the Phil Campbell campus of NW-SCC. She plans to continue her education at the University of North Alabama.

The Leaders of Promise Scholarship is sponsored by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. This Program awards 200 scholars with scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each, totaling $200,000.

The Leaders of Promise Scholarship Program was conceived by International Officers and launched in 2001. The program is a result of the Society’s long-range plan, The Alpha Project, which identified the need for scholarships to new Phi Theta Kappa members to assist in their obtaining an associate degree, while also encouraging participation in Society programs.
