Comcast is proud to honor some of our region’s best and brightest young people through the 2020 Leaders & Achievers Scholarship program. Each year, we recognize graduating high school seniors for their community service, academic performance and leadership skills. These $2,500 scholarships are designed to provide young people the opportunity to continue their education to better serve our communities and compete in the workplace of tomorrow.
“Comcast NBCUniversal’s values of integrity, respect, inclusion, and giving back have never been more important than today, and we’re honored to recognize these students who hold to those same ideals,” said J.D. Keller, senior regional vice president, Comcast Twin Cities. “This year’s graduating class has faced unprecedented challenges, and we applaud their academic excellence and service to the community and wish them every success.”
