Local students receive scholarships from cable companies

The Southern California Cable and Telecommunications Association Charitable Foundation has awarded $1,000 college scholarships each to three local students. The foundation's Lee Brennan Memorial Scholarship recognizes students who are interested in pursuing careers in the cable and telecommunications industry.

The recipients are Ethan Kuperbert of Agoura High School and Michelle Chen and Tiffany Russell, both of Westlake High School.

The scholarships are given in association with local Southern California cable operators Charter Communications and TimeWarner Cable.

A panel of judges composed of cable and telecommunication professionals selected the recipients based on essays, grade point average and a willingness to make positive contributions to their communities.
