One (1) $2,000 scholarship is given to a 4th year accounting student attending Miami-Dade College.

Professor Burrows has taught at Miami-Dade College since 1999, holds an active Florida CPA license, and also joined the FICPA organization in that year. She found accounting to be a good profession, and would like to assist more students in choosing this pathway to become a CPA, if they so desire.
