Mediacom scholarship applications due Feb. 15

Mediacom Communications is offering $60,000 in scholarship support for high school seniors who plan to obtain further education. The scholarship program is in its 20th consecutive year, and Mediacom’s investment will award $1,000 World Class Scholarships to 60 high school seniors. Scholarship recipients are given the flexibility to use the financial award to support postsecondary college costs or vocational training from an accredited institution starting in fall 2021. Award selection is based on academic achievement and leadership.

Applications for Mediacom’s World Class Scholarships are available online at mediacomworldclass.com. All high schools in Mediacom-served communities were sent scholarship information. The deadline to apply is Monday, Feb. 15.

“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,” said Mediacom Regional Vice President Steve Purcell.

Applicants do not have to be Mediacom customers but must live in areas where Mediacom’s fiber-rich broadband network delivers gigabit-speed internet service. Recipients will be selected from the 21 states where Mediacom’s residential customers reside.
