Austin, Texas, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TicketCity, the largest privately held ticketing company in the world, is proud to announce Clark College Undergraduate Student, Anabella Hatch as the winner of its 2017-2018 TicketCity Annual College Scholarship Program. Hatch will receive $3,000 in financial assistance that can be used toward her tuition or any education-related expenses.
“After seeing what it cost to put my two children through college and knowing how hard students work for their education, starting this scholarship program was a no-brainer for us,” said Randy Cohen, Founder and CEO of TicketCity. “With more than 5,000 applicants, this was yet another competitive year but selecting Annabella Hatch as our 2017-2018 scholarship was not a difficult decision. We’re excited to see what she will accomplish in the years to come and wish all participants success in their future endeavors."
TicketCity has a long history of, and commitment to, giving back to the community through various charitable organizations. By combining its passion for sports and entertainment, the company launched its TicketCity Annual College Scholarship Program four years ago during the 2015-2016 school year, making it the first ticket marketplace to create a student scholarship program.
