LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA– Sinclair Mensah, accounting and information technology senior, was recognized as “Man of the Year” at the 2011 National Association of Black Accountant’s (NABA) Convention, this summer in Orlando, FL.
The Lincoln University resident and Ghana native received a $10,000 scholarship as part of this recognition. Mensah spent his summer in Philadelphia as an assurance intern with Mitchell & Titus, a member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited.
Since its inception in 1987, NABA has provided more than $8 million in scholarship funds to deserving students preparing to enter various business professions. In fiscal year 2009, NABA awarded close to $500,000 and the award amount continues to grow annually. Through the generous contributions of individuals, groups, and organizations that share NABA’s desire to break through economic barriers often experienced by minorities, NABA has offered between 40 – 70 national scholarships annually ranging from $1,000 – $10,000.
“On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Center of Excellence in Business and Entrepreneurial Studies, I wish to commend Sinclair for this stellar national achievement,” said Director of the Center Dr. Oswald Richards. “It is truly not surprising given Sinclair’s academic performance as a 3.83 GPA accounting major and information technology minor.”
