Overview
As a small business owner, obtaining
adequate funding for your child's education can be a difficult
challenge. Sensitive to this need, Padgett annually provides
numerous $500 scholarship awards to the dependents of small business
owners throughout the Canada and United States. Since its inception
in 1990, the Padgett Scholarship Program has provided over $800,000
to the dependents of small business owners. In order to be eligible
for a Padgett Scholarship award, an applicant must meet the two
following requirements:
1.) Applicant must be a dependent of a business owner who employs
fewer than 20 people, owns at least 10% of the stock or capital in
the business, and is active in the day-to-day operations of the
business.
2.) Applicant must be a graduating high school senior who will
attend an accredited post-secondary institution.
Each regional winner
in Canada will become eligible for a Canada National Scholarship of
an additional $1,000. Each regional winner in the U.S. will
become eligible for a U.S. National Scholarship of an additional
$1,000. The International Scholarship of an
additional $2,000 will be awarded to one of the two National
winners.
