Ledger& Quill Student Page--Information you can use
Welcome to the Student's Page of Ledger & Quill Online. Here are some of the resources you may find helpful. If you're after scholarship information, go right to the Scholarship List" in this student section.
(And if you're reading this and are not signed up with E-Recruiting in the Career Center, or don't even know what it is, you're way, way late. Go to www.depaul/erecruiting.com, and now.)

The School makes available a limited number of GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS The positions offer a nine-course KGSB tuition waiver, a small stipend, and the opportunity to work with well-known scholars and leaders of the profession.

Like, um, Is yore righting OK? Need like; um, uh, help and stuff?
DePaul's Center for Writing-based Learning has an amazing website (http://condor.depaul.edu/~writing/) with an impressive variety of resources for students--too many to list here--and links to educational materials and other websites. The website provides easy access to the Center and staff (try the webcam appointment!). Check out the Writing Website, and the Center has a Loop office, too, in 1620 Lewis Center. Go ahead--make an appointment to work with a peer consultant now. The firms tell us again and again: after your accounting skills, they look for writing ability.
Internships/part-time job opportunities:
We no longer list current offers in the School of Accountancy offices, because the best place for full and up-to-the-minute information is at the DePaul Career Center, through e-Recruiting. Access to information is on the website. If you're not registered with--or familiar with--e-Recruiting, you're very late. At least visit http://careercenter.depaul.edu/ to get to see what what you don't even know about.
NONETHELESS, the School has many special relationships with leading firms such as Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Abbott Laboratories, BDO Seidman, and, most recently, Credit Suisse. Visit the Career Center for more information.
Current scholarships & awards
Our scholarship and award programs roster is updated throughout the year. Please be sure to look the list over--it's posted outside the School of Accountancy offices. We keep the list up year round so you can see what is available throughout 2009-10. Be sure to visit the School offices, too, for information and applications. Last year the School and the DePaul accounting alumni organization Ledger & Quill provided over $250,000 in scholarships, awards and prizes for accounting majors. For advice or assistance, contact Dr. Tim Lockyer at tlockyer@depaul.edu.
And check out the array of scholarships offered by the Illinois CPA Society--but there is usually a November 30 deadline. Keep them in mind for next year.
