ROSELAND, N.J., June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a
leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM)
solutions, today announced this year's five Henry Taub Scholars,
recipients of the company's college scholarship that recognizes
students who have exhibited academic excellence and made
significant contributions to their communities. The program
was established to honor ADP's late founder, Henry Taub, who believed in the invaluable
benefits of higher education.
The Henry Taub Scholarship Award is open to children of ADP
associates who are pursuing a college education. Up to
$20,000 in annual financial
assistance is awarded to each of the five recipients to help pay
for tuition and books. The 2014 Taub Scholars are:
Derek Nelson (Ramsey, NJ); Rachel
Matthews (Long Valley, NJ);
Sanjay Velappan (Suwanee, GA); Shohini Rakhit (Johns Creek,
GA); and Myra Kohler (Georgetown, Ontario, Canada).
"On behalf of ADP, I would like to extend our congratulations to
all of this year's Henry Taub Scholars for their commendable
achievements, both in and beyond the classroom," said Carlos Rodriguez, president and CEO of ADP.
"ADP is honored to assist these students in their academic
endeavors and to enable them to continue to embody the values of
our late founder, Henry
Taub."
To identify the five Henry Taub Scholar finalists, ADP
collaborated with the ADP Foundation and the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), an independent non-profit
organization, as well as International Scholarship and Tuition
Services (ISTS). Of the qualifying applicants, finalists were
selected based on a range of criteria, including academic
achievements, extracurricular activities and community involvement,
leadership roles, and an essay. The Henry Taub Scholarship
Award, currently in its third year, is an extension of ADP's
broader, ongoing scholarship program sponsored by the ADP
Foundation. The program has provided millions of dollars in
scholarships to hundreds of children of ADP associates over the
last 40 years.
"ADP and the ADP Foundation fully embrace Henry Taub's belief that education is the key to
opportunity," said Rita Mitjans,
Chief Diversity & Corporate Social Responsibility Officer and
head of the ADP Foundation. "We wish all of this year's
scholars success in reaching their goals."
