The
All-USA Academic Team program
annually recognizes three, 20-member "Teams" of outstanding two-year college students, offering stipends of $2,500 each to the top 20 students. All receive extensive national recognition through coverage in USA TODAY.
The top-scoring applicant for the All-USA Academic Team in each state is named a
New Century Scholar. The New Century Scholars program is sponsored annually by the American Association of Community Colleges, The Coca-Cola Foundation, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, and Phi Theta Kappa.
