Each year the Indiana CPA Society recognizes outstanding accounting majors for their leadership and academic achievement. Awards are presented based on general grade average, proficiency in English, math, speech, willingness to accept responsibility, extra-curricular activities, particularly of a leadership nature, and moral character. In January, the Indiana CPA Society invited Indiana colleges and universities with accounting departments to nominate a student who best met the award criteria.
