SAN JUAN, Texas – A Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD (PSJA ISD) Senior has been named a 2022 Coca-Cola Scholar. Out of more than 68,000 applications from across the nation, PSJA Collegiate High School Program’s Josue Cedillo was one of only 150 students selected for this competitive $20,000 scholarship.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Program is the largest corporate-sponsored, achievement-based scholarship program in the U.S. As a member of the Class of 2022 Coca-Cola Scholars, Cedillo will receive a $20,000 scholarship award for study at any accredited U.S. college or university of his choice.
Cedillo is part of the PSJA ISD Early College Program and will be graduating with an Associate Degree in Biology from South Texas College this Spring. While at PSJA ISD, he has served as his campus’ Student Council President, RGV Lead Student Ambassador, and been actively involved in Business Professionals of America, Health Occupations Students of America, and the National Honor Society.
“I’m so grateful to receive this scholarship that will help my family not worry so much about paying for my college education,” said Cedillo. “This is an example of how no matter where you come from you can do great things. If it wasn’t for my parents and the support and opportunities I’ve received at PSJA ISD, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
