New Accounting Scholarship
The Association of Government Accountants of Hawai'i established and endowed scholarship fund to assist students pursuing an accounting or auditing career in public service and honor past and future AGA Hawai'i leaders and members.
Founded in 1976, AGA Hawai'i Chapter has approximately 150 members comprised of professionals from federal, state and city agencies, international and local CPA firms, the University of Hawai'i, and various non-profit organizations. The chapter also has student members.
“For many years, AGA Hawai'i Chapter has supported the college’s School of Accountancy, and its accounting clubs and students,” says Dean V. Vance Roley. “We are grateful to the AGA Hawai'i Chapter Executive Committee, and in particular, Shidler alumni, AGA President Spencer Lum, AGA Director and Scholarship Chair Kay Miyamoto and AGA Treasurer Patrick Oki for making this scholarship possible. This scholarship will help attract top students to our College to ensure a quality work force for Hawai'i’s public accounting community.”
