Top 10 Accounting Firm Funds Scholarship for American Indian Students Studying Accounting
Albuquerque, NM – The American Indian Graduate Center (AIGC), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving cultural and economic wellbeing for individuals and tribes through post-secondary education, has partnered with REDW, New Mexico’s largest locally owned certified public accounting and business consulting firm, to create a scholarship program for American Indian students in the accounting field of study.
The annual scholarship program, REDW Native American Scholarship in Accounting, is open to both undergraduate and graduate American Indian and Alaska Native full-time students seeking an accounting degree.
“AIGC is deeply grateful for the generous and progressive commitment REDW has made to this scholarship fund,” said Joan Currier, Acting Director of AIGC. “Through the creation of a scholarship program geared toward accounting students, REDW is quite literally helping pave the way for new generations of Native Americans into the accounting field.”
REDW was recognized in 2014 at the annual AIGC reception for its generous support of various initiatives in Indian Country. Information about the REDW scholarship and other scholarship programs administered by AIGC is available at AIGCS.org.
