Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international honor society for high-achieving community college students, has named\u00a0Tiffany Min of\u00a0Long Beach City College\u00a0as a World Impact Scholar, an honor recognizing students pursuing degrees and certificates in programs that support economic opportunity and workforce needs in communities across World Cup host regions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Supported by a donation from Coca-Cola North America, the World Impact Scholars program celebrates community college students enrolled in degree and certificate programs that prepare them to contribute to their local economies and meet real workforce needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The World Impact Scholarship recognizes outstanding community college students in cities where the 2026 FIFA World Cup\u2122\u200b will be held who are pursuing high-demand careers aligned with real workforce needs. Through high-quality workforce programs and hands-on learning at community colleges, students are choosing educational pathways that expand economic mobility and translate into meaningful contributions that strengthen their local communities and regional economies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honored that Coca-Cola has invested in the World Impact Scholars,\u201d said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. \u201cDegrees and certificates from community colleges are powerful economic tools, and our World Impact Scholars are among the very best examples of students demonstrating leadership in high-demand fields that matter to their communities and to the future of our workforce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For\u00a0Tiffany Min, this recognition highlights both academic achievement and a commitment to applying education in ways that\u00a0benefit\u00a0their community. World Impact Scholars will be recognized locally and internationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
