THE COCA-COLA COMPANY ANNOUNCES RECIPIENTS OF THE 2009-2010 GOIZUETA SCHOLARS FUND AWARD

ATLANTA, June 24, 2009 -  Five deserving children of associates of The Coca-Cola Company have been named to the 2009 class of Goizueta Scholars.  The Goizueta Scholars Fund was established nine years ago at the personal bequest of the late Roberto C. Goizueta, who served as chairman and CEO of the Company for 16 years.  Mr. Goizueta treasured the value of higher education and its vital role in the success of young people.  He wanted to ensure that the children of Coca-Cola associates had the chance to pursue their dreams of receiving an education at the accredited college or university of their choice.

Each year, the program awards undergraduate scholarships of up to $25,000 per student.  Over the past nine  years, 66 students have been awarded Goizueta Scholars Fund awards, totaling more than $2.75 million.  Recipients are selected on the basis of their academic record, community service, honors, work experience, career goals and financial need.  Awards are renewable for three additional years, or until the student earns a bachelor's degree.
