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.
