Comcast invites high school seniors across Florida to apply for the Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program, which recognizes students who have demonstrated outstanding community service, exceptional academic performance and strong leadership skills. The award, funded by the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation, is a one-time, $2,500 scholarship to be used toward undergraduate education-related expenses.

For the 2019-20 school year, Comcast awarded $236,000 in scholarships to 90 Florida students attending nearly 50 different colleges and universities.
