Congratulations to the Beta Alpha Psi student organization for earning first place in the national Beta Alpha Psi EY Leadership Award. This award was earned based on a presentation by students George Merrifield, Skyla Bingham and Chandler King. The team earned this award for its proposal for a dues scholarship fund—this fund will support students interested in joining Beta Alpha Psi, but for whom the cost of dues would be a hardship. EY contributed $3,000 for this dues scholarship fund.
