Accounting major John Rihacek ’11, was one of 29 students selected to receive the 2010 ACEF Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship, which includes a $1000 award and a one-year student membership. Through the Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program, the ACFE Foundation supports the education of collegiate accounting and criminal justice students around the globe.

ACFE Foundation works to encourage students to pursue careers in fraud examination and provide resources for research on the detection and deterrence of fraud. Scholarships are awarded annually to full-time undergraduate students with a declared major or minor in accounting, business, finance, or criminal justice, who exhibit overall academic achievement.

The Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship program was named after two members of the ACFE, Larry Jennings, CFE, CPA, 49; and Tracy Ritchie, CFE, CPA, 41; both of Houston, Texas. They were among five people fatally wounded when terrorists in Karachi, Pakistan, fired upon their vehicle on Nov. 14, 1997.

 



Three TCNJ accounting majors have been selected to receive the 2010 scholarship from the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJSCPA). Senior accounting majors Kristina Lota and Colette Shaloub, and junior accounting major Anthony Rittwager will receive $4,000 each.

Each student has also been invited to attend The Scholars Institute, co-sponsored by the NJSCPA, Deloitte, Ernst &Young, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. It is a two-day residency program at TCNJ from June 10-11.

Each year, the NJSCPA Scholarship Fund, which is the largest professional scholarship program in the state, raises money to support high-achieving high school and college students in their pursuit of a CPA career, encourage students from diverse fields to pursue advanced education in accountancy, and increase awareness about the opportunities provided by a CPA career path.
