ACCA has announced the winners of the Simpson Scholarship for 2010 on Friday. The five scholarship winners from Bahrain, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, and Vietnam will all now receive extensive support to complete their ACCA studies. Reflecting on this year's competition, the judging panel noted that the winners "were able to convey a real sense of how winning the scholarship would change their lives.
Winners also conveyed a sense of their self and personality, and a purpose to fulfil their potential." This year's successful students are: Michelle Olinda D'Souza from Bahrain, Adeeso Adetoye from Nigeria; Muhammad Ali Sheikh from Pakistan; Natasha Singhal from Singapore; and Pham Thanh Huyen from Vietnam. The winners will receive funding from the scholarship to pay for their ACCA examination and student/affiliate registration fees for five years or up until they become members. As an added bonus, ACCA's official publishers - Kaplan Publishing and SPP Learning Media - have kindly agreed to provide our scholarship winners with a set of learning materials for each ACCA paper they are studying.-PR
