Jordan Gaston, a Plum High School senior, has received a $1,000 scholarship from the Comcast Foundation.

The Comcast Foundation, founded in 1999 to provide charitable support to its local communities and to empower and enrich lives, awarded 163 Pennsylvania high school seniors $1,000 scholarships through its annual Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program.

The program recognizes students who strive to achieve their 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.

Each year, Comcast works with high school principals, guidance counselors and school administrators to select the scholarship recipients.
