Simpson Scholarship 2010

Winners announced
07 Aug 2010
ACCA has announced the winners of the Simpson Scholarship for 2010.
Michelle Olinda D'Souza from Bahrain, Adeeso Adetoye from Nigeria, Muhammad Ali Sheikh from Pakistan, Natasha Singhal from Singapore, and Pham Thanh Huyen from Vietnam will all now receive extensive support to complete their ACCA studies.
The winners will obtain funding from the scholarship to pay for their ACCA examination and student/affiliate registration fees for five years or up until they become members.

To qualify for the scholarship, applicants had to have reached the highest standards in the ACCA examinations they had sat so far, as well as submit a 1,000-word essay on how the scholarship would help them reach their full potential.
Reflecting on this year's competition, the judging panel noted that the winners 'were able to convey a real sense of how winning the scholarship would change their lives. Winners also conveyed a sense of their self and personality, and a purpose to fulfil their potential.'

'Choosing a winner from this year's applicants was as an unenviable a task as ever,' said Laurie Gillow, ACCA's executive director - markets. 'The final shortlist was of an exceptionally high quality and the difficulty in choosing winners is testament to the hard work of all those that applied.'



The Simpson Scholarship exists to reward talented ACCA students who have already proven themselves to be of sufficient merit and distinction in ACCA examinations.


Each year, the Simpson Scholarship will fund the ACCA examination and registration fees of five students for a period of five years or until they become members – whichever happens first.
In order to be eligible for the Scholarship, applicants must meet the qualification criteria and submit a 1,000 word essay.
The 2010 application process has now closed, winners to be announced on Friday 30 July.
