A Commitment to the Future & Addressing the Accounting Pipeline

Attracting students into the profession is essential for maintaining the vitality and future of the industry. The Be Greater Scholarship aligns with the DMJPS mission to see a bright future for all by nurturing the next generation of accountants.
