Comcast is proud to honor some of the best and brightest high school graduates across the Twin Cities Region with a 2019 Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Award. Comcast Leaders and Achievers are students who have been selected for their outstanding community service, academic performance, and leadership skills.
Each $2,500 award, funded by the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation, is a one-time scholarship to be used toward undergraduate education-related expenses.
“We are honored to recognize and support these outstanding young people as they begin their college careers,” said J.D.
