Nexia TS is pleased to announce that the firm has established the Nexia TS Public Accounting Corporation Financial Scholarship with SIM University (UniSIM). The eligibility criteria includes a per capita income measurement as the scholarship is targeted at those who need financial support.

As part of the firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) education initiatives, Nexia TS partnered with UniSIM to award financial scholarships and book prizes to eligible accountancy students. In its contribution to the society at large, beyond the business domain, Nexia TS has been a strong supporter of education since 2008 and is determined to do its part to support and facilitate in its capacity to the accountancy profession in its CSR program.

“We are always keen to encourage education and in equipping others to learn. Believing that it is more effective to teach someone how to fish, supporting and investing in the students’ future is intrinsic to our firm’s ethos to give back to society we operate in. We will continue to support in whatever ways we can.”
