STATEHOUSE – State Representative Todd Huston (R-Fishers) congratulates Amanda M. Todd from Fishers for receiving the 2013 Comcast Leaders & Achievers Scholarship today. The award recognizes high school seniors for their outstanding leadership skills, high academic performance and participation in community service projects.
“This scholarship is a great way to recognize students for their hard work and achievements in our communities,” said Rep. Huston. “I want to congratulate Amanda, who attends Fishers High School, on receiving this award recognizing her as a student leader.”
Beginning annually in 2000, Comcast reaches out to high school guidance counselors and principals to recognize the brightest seniors as the nation’s “leaders and achievers.” The award recipients were nominated for their extensive involvement in their schools and participation in various service projects that positively impact their communities.
Since 2001, Comcast has awarded approximately $19 million in scholarship funds to more than 19,000 students across the nation. Amanda, who attends Fishers High School, was one of 49 Hoosier students to receive the $1,000 award.
“Amanda is actively making a difference in her school and community and setting a good example for her peers in how to balance school with extracurricular activities,” said Rep. Huston. “I am sure she will be successful in her future endeavors, and I wish her the best in those efforts.”
The award was presented by First Lady Karen Pence at the Indiana Statehouse.
