September 27, 2007 - Grantham University, an online university specializing in educating working adults, today announced that the Society of American Indian Government Employees (SAIGE) awarded a four-year Grantham University scholarship to Jinny Shulenberger. The scholarship, valued at $34,000, covers: tuition costs, required textbooks, software, fees and shipping of the course materials.

Ms. Shulenberger applied for the Grantham University Scholarship because she needs a degree to advance in her Federal government career and meet her lifelong goal of becoming the first Native American Manager at her facility.

"I am interested in pursuing a degree in Business Administration at Grantham University because with the flexibility of distance learning, I can work full-time and earn my degree at the same time," said Ms. Shulenberger.

"Education is powerful and plays an important role in everyone's lives," said Christine Shelly, executive vice president of Grantham University. "For Ms. Shulenberger, it could mean a promotion and the opportunity to become the first Native American Manager in her workplace, which is a significant milestone. Providing a scholarship to a deserving SAIGE member is one small way that Grantham University can make a big difference in someone's life."
