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."
