"Paul Wiese cared deeply about educating the next generation of accounting and finance professionals, and though he left us far too soon, he made a huge impression on the industry that I know will live on for years to come," said Surgent executive vice president Elizabeth Kolar in a statement. "We are honored to rename our scholarship program in Paul's memory."
Student applicants must be a current student at an accredited college or university within the U.S.; studying toward an accounting or finance-related degree; maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA; and submit a copy of their current transcript. Applicants must also submit a video response to answer questions as to why they are seeking the scholarship.
