Comcast NBCUniversal today announced that it has awarded $80,000 in scholarships for the 2017-18 school year to 80 Washington State students as part of its annual Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship Program. The program, funded by the Comcast Foundation, recognizes the best and brightest high school seniors for their community service, academic performance and leadership skills.

“Our Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners exemplify leadership and are committed to academic excellence and community service,” said Kyle McSlarrow, Regional Senior Vice President for Comcast in Washington.  “We are honored to recognize their achievements, and excited to support them as they continue their educational journeys.”
