What Your Peers Say
I will be attending Clemson University’s MPAcc program this fall. I have just finished my third public accounting internship and am very grateful for all the opportunities I have been presented with and the wonderful people I have met as a result of my career choice. SCACPA has aided me in my journey to becoming a CPA, and I hope to do the same for aspiring students like myself one day!
I needed to take an online class this summer to be able to graduate on time in Spring 2019, and this scholarship allowed me to take it. I very much want to thank everyone who funds this scholarship, and I want to remind them of what a huge difference it can make in a student’s life. I am a senior accounting major who already has a job with a Big Four public Accounting firm, KPMG.
