Jackson J. Hogan, a senior at Curtis Senior High School, is among the 90 recipients of the Comcast Foundation’s annual Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program awards in Washington State. 

Hogan has been a volunteer for Young Life, University Place Presbyterian Church Middle School Ministry, the University Place Presbyterian Youth Worship Band, and the Youth Mission Trip with University Place Presbyterian Church. He’s been active in student government, the Jazz Club, and competed in track and field and cross-country.  

Hogan was the Tacoma Athletic Commission Athlete of the Year Nominee for Curtis High School Cross Country and has won other awards, including Curtis High School Volunteer Award and United Way Volunteer Varsity Letter Award. 

At the time the school nominated him for the award, Hogan was planning to study marketing at Pepperdine University. 

The Comcast Leaders and Achievers  Scholarship Program provides $1,000 scholarships to 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. The philosophy behind the program is to give young people every opportunity to prepare for the future and to engage them in their communities. The program also demonstrates the importance of civic involvement, and the value placed on civic involvement by the business community. 

“Each year, we are excited to provide scholarships for these talented students,” said Charisse R. Lillie, president of the Comcast Foundation and vice president, Community Investment of Comcast Corp. “Comcast seeks students who demonstrate leadership abilities in school activities and who reflect a strong commitment to community service.  These students are our future leaders, and we hope these scholarships will help to power their dreams for success.” 

To date, Comcast has awarded nearly $19 million to nearly 19,000 Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners.
