Sulphur's Jon Schwake earns two accounting scholarships at East Central University

Jon Schwake, second from left of Sulphur, was the recipient of the Mike and Leslie Dicus Memorial Accounting Scholarship and the BKD Accounting Education Fund Scholarship during East Central University's recent Harland C. Stonecipher School of Business Scholarship and Awards Banquet. The Mike and Leslie Dicus Scholarship is awarded to students who are majoring in accounting. Preference is given to graduates of Ada-area high schools and graduate accounting students may also be recipients. This scholarship was established by the friends and family of Mike and Leslie after their untimely deaths within a year of each other. It is maintained by a yearly golf tournament in their memory. BKD Accounting Education Fund Scholarships are provided to accounting students and any other programs designated by BKD, LLP. Donations to this fund have been made available by the BKD Faculty Salary Endowment and annual gifts from BKD partners and employees.
