Tommie Collins and Gabriela Sahagun - both of ACE Tech High School, an
institution that introduces Chicago inner-city youth to architecture,
construction, and engineering (ACE) careers - were selected based on their
grade point averages (GPA), school activities and community/civic involvement.
They were also interviewed by Protiviti employees, where both students
demonstrated their passion, initiative and communication skills.

"Tommie and Gabriela are ideal candidates for these scholarships based on
their strong drive, values and initiative, and we hope these scholarships help
launch them into successful future careers," said Sharon Lindstrom, a managing
director in Protiviti's Chicago office, who oversees the scholarship program.
"By renewing the scholarships over the course of the students' undergraduate
studies, we hope to personally connect our employees' generous donations to a
positive impact in these deserving young people's lives."

Collins, who plans to attend Hampton University in Virginia, was student body
president, an architectural intern at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, and a
quarterly honor roll student throughout high school. He plans to study
architecture.

Sahagun plans to attend the University of Illinois to study forensic science.
She was the senior class treasurer and a quarterly honor roll student
throughout high school, while volunteering for more than 300 community service
hours.

Protiviti selects two new scholarship recipients each year in its effort to
provide long-term support and encouragement to Chicago high-school students
who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college. Scholarships
are renewable on an annual basis as long as minimum GPA requirements are met.
The company will be supporting a total of eight scholars on campuses across
the United States this fall.

Launched in April 2005, Protiviti's CommUnity Scholarship Program supports
economically challenged Chicago students who have the spirit and aptitude to
achieve their goal of attending college. Candidates are selected with the help
of the Chicago-based nonprofit organization Umoja Student Development, and the
scholarships are funded entirely by donations from Protiviti's Chicago-area
employees.
