Mediacom Communications announced the selection of Molly Walding, a Fairhope High School senior, as well as Ashton Haygood, a Bayshore Christian School senior, as recipients of the company’s World Class Scholarship program. The award recognizes the Fairhope and Daphne residents for outstanding leadership and academic accomplishments. Mediacom annually selects 60 graduating seniors who each receive $1,000 scholarships to support their post-secondary education.

“As a technology company, Mediacom understands how important it is to invest in future leaders like Molly and Ashton,” said Group Vice President, Doug Frank. “I’m proud that my company supports talented local students with scholarship support, and we congratulate the students on their accomplishments.”

This year marks the 20th consecutive year Mediacom has funded World Class Scholarships for students who live in areas served by the cable and broadband company. On average, approximately 1,200 students apply for the scholarships each year. Recipients must attend an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or technical school within the United States.

Mediacom plans to continue funding its World Class Scholarships in all areas where it provides digital cable and broadband services. High school administrators will be notified in the fall of 2021 when scholarship applications become available online for students in the Class of 2022.
