More than half of Augustana's accounting majors receive financial assistance from merit scholarships from the department’s endowment and fundraising activities. The annual "sold-out" Accounting Golf Outing provides for one-third of these scholarship dollars.
Five student-athletes — from hometowns in Illinois, Hawai'i, Texas and Tennessee — are the college's most recent Academic All-Americans. Now with 183 Academic All-Americans, Augustana ranks 14th among the NCAA’s 1,100 schools in DI, DII and DIII across the country.
Three 2024 grads show what can happen with curiosity, internships, good challenges and support from their Augustana success team.
