One student, Tai Anthony McMillan, a student at Renton High School, was
selected to receive an additional $4,000 Comcast Founders Scholarship -
instituted in honor of Ralph J. Roberts, Founder and Chairman Emeritus
of Comcast Corporation.
The program, funded by the Comcast Foundation, is a one-time, $1,000
scholarship awarded to the best and brightest high school seniors for
their community service, academic performance and leadership skills.
Since 2001, more than $28 million has been awarded to nearly 27,000 high
school seniors across the country as part of the Leaders and Achievers
Program. In Washington State, we've honored over 1,500 students with
over $1.5M in college scholarships.
"These students from communities throughout Washington have accomplished
some amazing things," said Amy Lynch, Region Vice President, Comcast
Washington. "From their academic achievements to school leadership and
community involvement, our Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners are
exceptional students who are committed to academic excellence and
community service. We are honored to recognize their achievements and
excited to support them as they continue their educational journeys."
The Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program provides
scholarships to students who strive to achieve their full potential, who
are catalysts for positive change in their communities, who 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 to 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.
