Mediacom Communications presented selected Gulf Breeze, Milton and Pace High School graduates with a $1,000 scholarship as part of the company’s World Class Scholarship Program.
Nikolas Bindi, a 2017 graduate of Gulf Breeze High School; Rachel Nation, a 2017 graduate of Milton High School; and Emily Shiel, Haley and Heather Kling, 2017 graduates of Pace High School, each received a scholarship.
Mediacom annually gives $1,000 scholarships to 55 graduating seniors to provide support for the students’ post-secondary education. The award recognizes residents’ outstanding leadership and academic accomplishments.
This year marks the 16th consecutive year Mediacom has funded World Class Scholarships for students who live in areas served by the cable and broadband company. On average, approximately 1,200 students apply for the scholarships each year. Recipients must attend an accredited two-year or four-year college, university or technical school within the United States.
Mediacom plans to continue funding its World Class Scholarships in all areas where it provides digital cable and broadband services. High school administrators will be notified in the fall of 2017 when scholarship applications become available online for students in the Class of 2018.
