MORGAN HILL WINS PADGETT SCHOLARSHIP

Colorado Springs, CO - Morgan Hill is the winner of the local 2008 Padgett Business Services Foundation Scholarship, announced Espen Jansen, CPA, owner of the local Padgett office.

"The candidates for this $500 scholarship are always exceptional; however, Morgan has strong personal and scholastic attributes that stand out amongst the other applicants," said Jansen.  "She not only has an outstanding grade-point average and excellent college aptitude test scores, but also shows leadership in extracurricular activities.  Further, her future scholastic and career plans are admirable."

A student at Air Academy High School, Morgan plans to attend University of Colorado at Boulder.

In order to qualify for the scholarship, applicants must be the dependent of an independent business owner.  "At Padgett Business Services, we are sensitive to the needs of small business owners," commented Jansen.  "One of their major concerns is adequate funding for their children's education.  We believe we are supporting this important need through this program."

Morgan is the daughter of Steven and Mary Ann Hill who own and operate Glenn's Army Surplus.  She is now eligible to compete for one of the two $1,000 national awards and the $2,000 international grand prize.
