Tapp Wins Accenture Scholarship

MSE senior Maeling Tapp is one of fewer than 20 students nationwide to be named the recipient of an Accenture Scholarship. Accenture is a company that provides consulting, technology, research and outsourcing services to a variety of industries around the world.

According to the Accenture web site, the Accenture Scholarship Program For Minorities "was created to encourage minorities to pursue degrees in engineering, computer science, and a variety of programs related to information systems and decision or management sciences." Recipients of the merit-based $2500 scholarships are chosen based on their GPAs, majors, extracurricular activities, and the quality of the essays they write as part of the application process.
