“Through this scholarship program, Comcast is proud to salute
talented high school seniors who are leaders in their communities,”
said Rich Jennings, Vice President of Comcast’s Mile High Region.
“For nearly 50 years, Comcast has been committed to making a
positive impact on our local communities and helping them ‘Dream
Big’ by providing innovative technology, encouraging volunteerism,
providing financial support and partnering with great community
organizations. We hope these scholarships will help these students
reach their full potential and continue to dream big.”
The Comcast Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship Program provides

their potential, are catalysts for positive change in their
communities, are involved in their schools, and who serve as models
for their fellow students. The philosophy behind the program is to
give young people every opportunity to prepare for the future and
engage them in their communities. The program also demonstrates the
importance of civic involvement, and the value placed on civic
involvement by the business community.

have received a total of $594,000 in scholarship funding. To date,
Comcast has awarded more than $17 million to more than 17,000
