Kara Leann Seat, an honors graduate of Christ Presbyterian Academy from Nashville, Tenn., has been named the 2007 recipient of the Peyton Manning Scholarship. The scholarship has been awarded annually since 1998 to a first-year student participating in UT's Honors Program in honor of Manning, the former Vols signal-caller, co-captain and 1997 All-America selection.
Peyton Manning and UT Director of Financial Aid Jeff Gerkin joined Kara and her parents Greg and Norma during the June 21 ceremony at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center. The presentation took place directly in front of the "Peyton Manning Study Area," another byproduct of the Manning years at Tennessee.
For Peyton, it marked the continuation of a 10-year tradition in which he travels back to Knoxville to present the award personally. You wouldn't expect any less from Peyton, who always seems to do things the right way... and with a flourish.
"It's hard to believe we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Peyton Manning Scholarship," Manning said. "Kara continues what has become a tradition of outstanding academic students to receive this award. She adds to that a really solid athletic background and is just a tremendously well-rounded person. I'm proud to have her as a recipient."
