LECANTO - Central Florida Community College student Korie-Lanette Cole has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Coca-Cola Foundation.

Cole was one of 400 students nationwide selected through the Coca-Cola Two-Year Colleges Scholarship Program.

“This program is an extension of our long-standing commitment to college education throughout the United States,” said J. Mark Davis, president of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. “These fine students, who often juggle school, work and family, continue to give back to their communities through volunteer service.”

Cole served as president of the Citrus Campus Student Activities Board in 2009-2010 and was named Ms. CFCC in February. She was also named to the Phi Theta Kappa All-Florida First Academic Team which recognizes the top students in the Florida College System and was nominated for the All-USA Academic Team. She plans a career in forensic science.
