Rachlin Announces Establishment of Scholarship with Florida International University

Miami, FL – Rachlin has announced the establishment of the Rachlin Accounting Scholarship. The scholarship provided in partnership with Florida International University, will honor graduate students with a $2,500 award.

"Rachlin is delighted to be establishing the Accounting Scholarship. By investing in students, we will create opportunities to ensure a brighter future for the accounting industry," said Lawrence Blum, managing partner at Rachlin.

The scholarship is open to part- and full-time graduate students seeking advanced degrees in accounting who are enrolled in Florida International University's Master's of Accounting program. Eligible students must have a 3.0 grade point average and be a U.S. Citizen. The awarding of the scholarship depends on two requirements: financial need and academic performance.

"We're extremely proud to oversee a scholarship program sponsored by Rachlin. This award provides financial support to those who are pursuing graduate degrees in accounting while also giving them an opportunity to improve their performance and knowledge of the profession," said Bill Levin, scholarship program manager.
