A current student and recent graduates of the most popular program in Butler County Community College’s largest academic division have received scholarships totaling $6,000 from the foundation of a professional organization.
Gina Marsh is pursuing an associate degree from BC3 in business administration, which Daulton Roth and Tyler Beegle earned degrees in May.
Each received 2022 scholarships from the foundation for the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Each intends to pursue a bachelor’s degree in accounting toward a goal of becoming a certified public accountant.
Marsh received $3,000, Roth $2,000 and Beegle $1,000 from the Pennsylvania Certified Public Accountants Foundation.
Marsh, of Mars, is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, Midland. Roth, of Cabot, is a graduate of Knoch High School. Beegle, of Pittsburgh, graduated from Seneca Valley High School.
The three current students or graduates receiving scholarships in a single year from the foundation are believed to be the most since at least 2014, said Laura Wiest, an instructor in BC3’s business division.
“We have sharp students,” Wiest said of those enrolled in BC3’s business division. “These three are exceptional.”
“By awarding these scholarships,” said Sherri Mack, BC3’s dean of business, “the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants thinks these students have a lot of potential.”
