Mediacom Communications announced the selection of four Columbus-area high school seniors as recipients of the Company’s 2024 World Class Scholarship Program.

Shishir Jakkam is a senior at Columbus High School, and Sandra Njama is graduating from William Henry Spencer High School. Khalil Luttrell is a senior at Hardaway High School, and Jasmine Emanuel is a Shaw High School senior. Each student earned a $1,000 scholarship for academic accomplishments and leadership.  The Columbus-area scholarship recipients are among 60 high school seniors selected from more than 350 applications Mediacom received from students in 21 states.

“Mediacom understands how important it is to invest in future leaders like these four students,” said Senior Director of Area Operations at Mediacom, Phil Skinner. “I’m proud that our company commits financial support annually to talented local students with the Mediacom World Class Scholarship Program. We congratulate all Class of ’24 graduates, and particularly celebrate Shishir, Sandra, Khalil, and Jasmine for their outstanding achievements.” 

This year marks the 22nd consecutive year Mediacom has funded World Class Scholarships for students who live in areas where the company delivers broadband and digital video services. Recipients must attend an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or technical school within the United States.
