For rising senior Natachie Elie, the title Woman of the Year, which she was recently named by the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), should come as no surprise considering the list of accomplishments she has achieved in her three years at the University.

Elie, finance and banking major in the Business and Information Technology (BIT) Center of Excellence, was also awarded a $10,000 scholarship by NABA for her impressive undergraduate performance, motivation and commitment to her community.

“This scholarship truly is a blessing from God because it will help pay for my final year’s tuition as well as my study abroad travel expenses,” said Elie. “It proves that hard work really does pay off.  Receiving this award is a great honor; it tells me that I am seen as having potential for the future of our society.  I will forever be grateful to NABA and will continue living through their motto “Lifting as We Climb!”

For this rising star, this title is just the beginning.  Elie will gain an international understanding of finance this fall at the American Business School Paris.  Her study abroad experience will be partially funded by the Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship, making Elie one of five Lincoln University recipients of this competitive award.

“On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Center of Excellence, we are extremely proud of Natachie’s accomplishments and expect her to complete her studies at American Business School Paris with distinction and go on to a successful career in the investment banking field, “ said BIT Director Dr. Oswald Richards.
