DMJPS PLLC (DMJPS), a U.S. Top 200 tax, assurance, and advisory firm, is proud to announce the 2026 recipients of its Be Greater Scholarship. Established in 2024 in recognition of the firm’s 75th anniversary, the scholarship initiative represents a $75,000 investment over five years to support and develop the next generation of accounting professionals.
The 2026 scholarship recipients represent accounting programs across North Carolina, including UNC Wilmington, UNC Asheville, UNC Charlotte, UNC Chapel Hill, and NC State University.
To be eligible, students must major in accounting and successfully complete a busy season internship with DMJPS. As part of the application process, applicants reflected on the firm’s guiding principle, Be Greater, and shared what it means to them both personally and professionally.
“DMJPS truly exemplifies its motto of ‘Be Greater.’ The firm challenges you to keep learning, adapting, and growing, and after this experience, I feel I have become a greater professional, a greater teammate, and gained a greater understanding of the tax field,” shared one scholarship recipient from North Carolina State University who interned in the firm’s Durham office.
Another recipient from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington reflected on the impact of the internship experience, saying, “I finally understood the significance of working for a company whose values are reflected in its actions. I’ve grown to truly enjoy the work I do, appreciate the company of my colleagues, and feel inspired to Be Greater both in and out of the office.”
The Be Greater Scholarship reflects DMJPS’ ongoing commitment to strengthening the accounting profession’s talent pipeline through direct investment in students and campus recruiting efforts. The firm currently partners with more than 17 colleges and universities across North Carolina.
“The Be Greater Scholarship reflects our belief that investing in students today strengthens the future of the accounting profession for years to come,” said Drew Haddock, CEO of DMJPS. “We are proud to support aspiring leaders and a commitment to growth both inside and outside the classroom.”
DMJPS empowers through knowledge and trusted relationships, delivering proactive solutions that inspire its people, clients, and communities to Be Greater.
