San Leandro Student to be Honored at Capitol

From Comcast

Comcast and elected officials will join together in a celebration of education on the steps of the California State Capitol, as Comcast distributes $200,000 in scholarships at a special recognition ceremony saluting the 185 California high school seniors from 30 counties who have won a 2013 Comcast Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship of $1,000. 

Tiffany Lim, a student at San Leandro's Chinese Christian Schools is one of the recipients.

The event will be televised LIVE on Comcast Hometown Network (Channel 104 on Comcast systems throughout California) from noon to 1 p.m.   

Two lucky students will be surprised with $10,000 scholarships, and 20 of the winning students will have their name drawn for a netbook computer to use at college. 

In addition, the students and their families will also receive a tour of the State Capitol.
