STUDENT SUCCESS

Alyssa Nightingale, an Anderson Master of Accounting student, was recently honored as a Tom Burrage Scholarship recipient. This scholarship is a $2,000 stipend given to a worthy student with an interest in forensic accounting or business appraisal.

The scholarship was created as a memorial to Anderson alum Tom Burrage and his contributions to the business appraisal community. Burrage was a highly respected Albuquerque CPA, speaker, author, editor and mentor on family law, economic damages, forensic accounting, taxation and business valuation.
