2013

The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA) announces the winners of its 2013 Award of Achievement for academic excellence in accounting studies. Each year, the VSCPA recognizes top graduating accounting seniors from Virginia high schools.

The students are selected by accounting faculty at their respective schools. Only one award is issued per school each year, making it a significant honor to be the single student selected for recognition amongst peers.

This year, 41 students, representing high schools, colleges and universities across the Commonwealth, were given this prestigious award. The 2013 VSCPA Award of Achievement winners are as follows, organized by town or city:
