Charter has Awarded More Than $1 Million in Scholarships for Underrepresented
College Students
STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications, Inc. today opened
applications for Spectrum Scholars, the company's annual
scholarship program for underrepresented college students with
financial need. Each of the rising college juniors selected for the
2024-2025 program will receive a $20,000 scholarship, a Charter mentor and the
opportunity for a paid internship with the company. Eligible
students can apply for the program here.
"Spectrum Scholars allows us to support rising professionals
through financial and career development support, underscoring our
commitment to investing in a skilled and diverse workforce that can
best serve the needs of our customers," said Paul Marchand, Executive Vice President, Chief
Human Resources Officer for Charter. "Attracting, developing and
retaining employees is key to Charter's continued success, and this
effort begins with entry level roles."
Student Financial Support and Beyond
Now in its fourth
year, Charter has awarded more than $1
million in scholarships through Spectrum Scholars, but the
benefits for students of participating in the program extend far
beyond financial assistance. Each of the students selected for the
2024-2025 class of Spectrum Scholars will have the opportunity to
complete the two-year professional development program, designed to
introduce them to new career paths and expand their networks, with
the potential for full-time employment with Charter
post-graduation.
Students also get unique access to networking and professional
development opportunities including the Scholars Summit, a
three-day event hosted at Charter's corporate headquarters in
Stamford. In December, the 2022
and 2023 classes traveled from across the country for the 2023
Scholars Summit where they participated in networking activities
with Charter mentors and sat in on keynotes and career development
sessions on topics like how to communicate in a corporate
environment and the different career paths that can be pursued with
Charter.
