Shelby is a senior at the Romain College of Business majoring in accounting, and is president of the Accounting & Professional Services Club. She is only the second person from USI to receive this prestigious award in the history of the program.

"I am excited to accept this award and see that my hard work is paying off," she said. "It will help me begin a master's degree in business administration so I can be another step closer to becoming a CPA."

The PCAOB is a nonprofit corporation established by Congress to oversee the audits of public companies and broker-dealers, to promote investor protection. The Board established the PCAOB Scholarship Program to provide a source of funding to encourage outstanding undergraduate and graduate students to pursue a career in auditing.
