Mediacom offers $55,000 in scholarships to high school seniors

GULF BREEZE — Mediacom Communications is offering $55,000 in scholarship to support high school seniors planning to further their education. In its 17th consecutive year, Mediacom’s scholarship program will award $1,000 World Class Scholarships to 55 high school seniors.  

Scholarship recipients receive the flexibility to use the financial award to support educational expenses for higher education or vocational training from any accredited post-secondary institution starting in the fall of 2018. Award selection is based on academic achievement and leadership.

Applications for Mediacom’s World Class Scholarships are available online at www.mediacomworldclass.com. All high schools in Mediacom-served communities received informational cards asking school officials to make seniors aware of the scholarship and encourage submission of applications on or before the February 16, 2018 deadline.  

“As a company, Mediacom makes it a priority to give back to communities in which we do business, and one of the best ways is to invest in promising students who are our future leaders,” Mediacom Regional Vice President Doug Frank said.

Applicants do not have to be Mediacom customers but must live in areas where Mediacom provides broadband, video, phone and other digital communication services. Recipients will come from the 21 states where Mediacom provides service. A complete list of communities in Mediacom service areas is included with the online application.
