Scholarship Reminder / April 2nd Deadline

Tue Mar 11 11:58:21 EDT 2008

Certainly, the expense of any person going to college is great and can be 
overwhelming. That?s why the NABA Charlotte Chapter is reminding you about 
the annual scholarships available to our collegiate members. Every year 
NABA sponsors several key programs and services designed to address the 
needs of students majoring in the fields of accounting, finance, or 
business administration. 

For the past two academic years we have awarded over $20,000 in 
Scholarships to students making a difference in their communities and 
schools. This year we want to continue our goal of developing our 
collegiate members and look forward to the amazing things to come. 

We want to encourage you to inform others about Student Scholarship 
Opportunities with NABA!
