As a longtime member of the Central Florida business and higher education communities, Withum is honored to be a financial supporter and platinum sponsor of the Kenneth G. Dixon School of Accounting Academic Excellence Awards Scholarship Program at the University of Central Florida (UCF).
On Friday, February 24th, Russell Goldberg, partner-in-Charge of the Orlando office, awarded $8,500 in scholarships to five students at the UCF Spring Banquet.
We’re always looking for ways to help the next generation discover a passion for the accounting industry. We are glad to continue working with UCF to benefit local scholars who will be the future of our business community. It is my personal honor to award these scholarships to hard-working, deserving students. We encourage the profession as a whole to increase scholarship investments in our future business leaders.
