Jacksonville, FL (November 16, 2004) – Accounting Principals, the accounting and finance solutions unit of MPS Group Inc. (NYSE:MPS), today announced an endowment of $25,000 for an accounting and finance scholarship at the University of North Florida’s Coggin College of Business. This endowment will provide a scholarship on an annual basis to an outstanding accounting and/or finance student at the University of North Florida.

“The shortage of qualified accounting and financial professionals continues to worsen and this will only continue with an expanding global economy,” said Jeff Jackovich, president of Accounting Principals. “We are proud to offer a scholarship that will provide the opportunity for well-deserving students interested in accounting or finance to pursue their education and life goals.”

The University of North Florida's Coggin College of Business is dedicated to the education and development of individuals who will become leaders of both private and public organizations. The college accomplishes this mission through outstanding undergraduate and graduate instruction, provided by a faculty that integrates creative scholarly endeavors into relevant, high-quality programs, helping to foster the university's reputation as a major urban institution. Although the primary commitment is to outstanding instruction, research and service are also integral components of the mission.

“We are grateful to Accounting Principals for its contribution and commitment to our students,” said John Delaney, president of the University of North Florida. “Corporate involvement with our student body is imperative as we strive to prepare the workforce of the future for the economic challenges of the 21st century. Accounting Principals is helping make that happen, and this scholarship will go a long way toward enabling the Coggin College of Business to meet its goals.”
