Alan Hatfield, director-learning at ACCA, said: "The winners of the Simpson Scholarship are decided on from 20 finalists, it's a fantastic achievement on their part."Candidates for the scholarship are decided on based on their understanding of ACCA's core values of opportunity, diversity and integrity. They also have to show they would put this into practice as an ACCA student. Innovation in accounting and advancing the profession were also key to the success of the applicants. "The hard work and dedication these scholarship winners have shown in their studies to achieve the ACCA Qualification will hopefully be boosted by the scholarship - and this support will lead them on to a successful career in the accountancy profession."
For the chance to be awarded the scholarship, applicants had to have excelled in the exams they had already sat, and submit a 1000-word essay on how the scholarship would help them achieve their full potential.
