CPAexcel Announces 2010 Accounting Scholarship Winners--56 Winners from around the World!
CPAexcel Awards over $66,000 in College Scholarships to 56 University Students

SEDONA, AZ, May 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Efficient Learning Systems, Inc., the parent company of CPAexcel, is pleased to announce the winners of its college scholarship drawing on April 15, 2010.

CPAexcel established these scholarships to encourage college students to pursue accounting careers and to pass the CPA Exam. A CPA earns much more each year than an accountant with the same experience and education. By supporting and encouraging young people to become CPAs, CPAexcel is helping one person at a time improve their earning power and career potential.

The Grand Prize is $5,000. With the current stubborn economic turndown, we felt that students would appreciate a scholarship which they could use for any college-related expense. In addition to the cash scholarship, the winner will receive CPAexcel's premier Video Gold Medal Course (worth $1,690), which includes Professor Mentoring. Professor Mentoring commences from April 15, 2010, until the student passes all four parts of the CPA Exam.

The five First Place Winners will each receive CPAexcel's premier Video Gold Medal Course which includes Professor Mentoring.

The 50 Second Place Winners will each receive CPAexcel's excellent Online Video Self-Study Course worth over $1,000. Each winner will be able to raise their college grades and pass the CPA Exam with the study tools in this course.

During the past several years, the CPAexcel Scholarship program has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships to students in its continuing commitment to support post-secondary accounting education. These scholarships pave the way for these bright young students from diverse backgrounds to excel in the accounting profession, which will benefit us all. CPAexcel supports the development of the next generation of great accounting minds.

This year, CPAexcel received nearly 5,000 entries from around the world in this scholarship drawing. Eligible college students must be in their junior or senior year of undergraduate study or be enrolled in a graduate program for 2009 - 2010 school year and taking at least one accounting class.
