The David W. Graham Scholarship

David W. Graham founded our firm in 1975. Originally with Peat Marwick (now KPMG), David launched Graham, Cottrill, Jackson & Hostetter, LLP with the same entrepreneurial spirit he encouraged in his clients. David helped more people in more ways than anyone will ever know.

David had a particular affinity for helping young people in the beginning stages of their careers. Whenever David noted a motivated young professional who could use an extra "boost," David was glad to head up the "booster club."

David passed away unexpectedly on May 10, 2000.

In keeping with the spirit of his generosity, our firm has created The David W. Graham Scholarship for Interns. The scholarship is awarded by the partners of the firm to selected students who have successfully interned in our firm and plan to join our firm upon the completion of the fifth year of accounting studies. The award is intended to assist with the cost of the fifth-year studies (generally, up to $5,000).

We believe, like David, that sometimes that extra "boost" makes all the difference in the world.
