DANA SENIOR WINS NATIONAL AWARD

Michelle Young ’04 is the winner of one of 10 national scholarships from the American Society of Women Accountants (ASWA).
Young won the Omaha Chapter of ASWA’s scholarship competition earlier this year, and her application was forwarded for the national competition. She competed with accounting students from all over the country.

In addition to the $1,000 she received from the Omaha Chapter, Young will get another $2,000 to finish her schooling at Dana.

The scholarship is available to part-time or full-time students entering their senior years in accounting programs. Successful applicants must have 60 hours of course work completed at an accredited school. Applications are judged based on the student’s academic background, employment history, awards and honors, financial situation, quality of references, career goals and ability to communicate well.

“What a great honor for Michelle and for Dana,” said Carol King, assistant professor of business and a member of ASWA. “Out of the 10 national winners, Michelle was the only student not from a major university.”
