Waynesburg student attains PICPA scholarship

Waynesburg University junior, Alyssa Daniel, recently became one of 51 students in Pennsylvania to receive the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) scholarship award for 2013.

Through the PICPA scholarship, Daniel, a forensic accounting major from Manheim, Pa., will receive a multi-year renewable scholarship for $3,000 for three years.

"Alyssa was a perfect candidate because she has an excellent academic record and wants to be a Certified Public Accountant," said Anthony Bocchini, professor of business administration at Waynesburg University, who recommended Daniel for the scholarship due to her professional manner and work ethic as an accounting student at Waynesburg.

The PICPA is the second-oldest Certified Public Accountant (CPA) organization in the United States and the premier statewide resource for top-class continuing professional education programs, professional networking, business-friendly advocacy, thought leadership and a full range of services for accounting professionals.

Students attending a Pennsylvania college/university and who meet the requirements are eligible to apply for the PICPA scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. These scholarships can be renewed annually until the completion of a recipient's degree. Said requirements include high intellectual capacity, leadership potential, financial need and intent to pursue a career in accounting. Awards are given on a competitive basis to candidates that best satisfy these requirements.

"I was extremely excited to receive the scholarship, not only for the help it provides with paying my college tuition, but also for the opportunities in networking that come along with it," said Daniel. "It's really gratifying to see that there are tangible benefits to working hard in college and that employers and organizations appreciate the work we do in school."

Holy Family University News and Events

Holy Family Partners with St. Hubert High School (9/6/2013)
Administrators from St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls, located in Northeast Philadelphia, joined officials from Holy Family University to sign an agreement that enters both schools into a collaborative educational partnership. The agreement consists of three components, including admissions and scholarship, a university and dual credit agreement, and continuing education. The partnership reinforces the commitment of both schools to offer advanced educational opportunities for the personal and intellectual growth of their students and faculty.

"For nearly 60 years, St. Hubert graduates have found their collegiate academic home at Holy Family. This agreement will allow us to further strengthen what has always been a great partnership," said Francis A. Farrell, President of St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls.

Students from St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls who graduate with a 2.5 GPA or higher are guaranteed admission to Holy Family University with application fees waived. St. Hubert students are also able to take dual-credit classes at both St. Hubert Catholic High School and Holy Family and earn both university credits and high school credit. Teachers, administrators, staff, and employees of St. Hubert are also able to enroll in Holy Family University undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as degree programs, with waived admission fees and opportunities for grants.

"We at Holy Family University are so pleased to expand this unique opportunity to St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girl," said University President Sister Francesca Onley, CSFN, PhD. "Our commitment to our area high schools as learning partners is unflagging, and our new agreement with St. Hubert will be deeply beneficial to both schools-their students and faculty alike. As Catholic institutions, our mission and core values are similar, and we are excited to support St. Hubert students as they continue to develop as women of faith, integrity, and scholarship."

For 70 years, St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls has been forming women of faith and integrity in the Philadelphia area. The school itself is a neighborhood landmark, and their graduates stretch throughout the country and world. Since opening its doors in 1941, St. Hubert has drawn students from over 50 elementary schools in surrounding neighborhoods and every section of Philadelphia, the suburbs of Bucks and Montgomery counties, and Southern New Jersey. At St. Hubert, each student is offered a college-preparatory, liberal arts education. Over 98% of its graduates pursue their education beyond St. Hubert, and in the past four years graduates have received over $57 million in scholarships and grants to the colleges and universities of their choice. St. Hubert students are offered a cutting-edge academic education with technology incorporated into every aspect of the curriculum.

Holy Family University is a premier Catholic university of the liberal arts and professions with a main campus in Northeast Philadelphia and locations in Bensalem and Newtown, Pennsylvania. It has been recognized for providing outstanding undergraduate and graduate academic programs and professional career development in a faith-inspired, values-centered community. Founded in 1954 by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, Holy Family University offers purpose-driven, engaged students the knowledge, values, and skills to help them find their place and purpose in today's workplace and world.
