Padriac Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Padriac Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund helps current Phoenix College honors students in a variety of ways.
About Padriac Meriadoc Hill The fund celebrates the legacy of Padriac Meriadoc Hill, a gifted honors student who died at age 20. Growing up in diverse communities around the country, and world, Hill ultimately graduated from Glendale's Independence High School prior to enrolling in Phoenix College's former Classical Studies Program. An artist and poet, Hill was also deeply spiritual, serving as a leader in the Tirosh movement, a series of interdenominational religious retreats. Hill's parents, Eric and Sylvia, accepted his degree posthumously, in 1993.
The fund was established by Hill's classmates, parents, and retired Honors Program Coordinator, Barbara Van Sittert.
