The laptops will benefit PART Houston scholarship recipients this Spring. The scholarships are awarded annually to Hispanic female students graduating from an accredited Houston-area High School or Charter School.
Over the past 79 years PART Houston has championed education by awarding over $300,000 in scholarships to local high-achieving Latina girls.
More than 300 former scholarship recipients have now become professionals in STEM, business, public service and medicine. Most have returned to serve on the board, donate and participate in developing a network of alumni community leaders.
Comcast’s Internet Essentials initiative will donate more that 2,000 laptops with free internet connection in an effort to encourage education and provide resources to your, students, and adults in Latinx communities.
