Comcast NBCUniversal has awarded $192,000 in 2019-2020 “Leaders and Achievers” scholarships to 72 students in its Greater Chicago Region, which includes Central and Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan. Students are selected for their outstanding community service, academic performance and leadership skills. The award, funded by the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation, is a one-time, $2,500 scholarship for undergraduate education-related expenses.  Comcast recognized scholarship recipients recently at a special event at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. Four recipients in attendance received $3,000 Comcast Founders Scholarships, in addition to their Leaders and Achievers scholarships.  The Founders Scholarships are named in honor of Ralph J. Roberts, Comcast Corporation’s Founder and Chairman Emeritus. 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.
