MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� ATA CPAs + Advisors has made a generous gift to the 天美传媒 Foundation to establish a new scholarship to encourage diversity within the next generation of accounting professionals. Named the 鈥淎TA Diversity in Accounting Endowed Scholarship,鈥� the scholarship will provide financial assistance for students pursuing an education in the field of accounting at 天美传媒 for years to come.

Based in Jackson, Tennessee and with 15 office locations in Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi, ATA provides a wide range of accounting, auditing, wealth management, tax and consulting services and more for clients ranging from individuals to businesses of all sizes to governmental institutions.

ATA believes in the importance of promoting diversity within the next generation of accounting professionals and the benefit of expanding career opportunities for diverse individuals from under-served populations through higher education.

鈥淲e're excited to provide a new scholarship in accounting to support students in obtaining a 天美传媒 education and develop future leaders who can serve their communities effectively,鈥� said John Whybrew, managing partner, ATA CPAs + Advisors.
