– Five undergraduate students are recipients this year
of scholarships from the Center for Financial Services in the College
of Business at the University of Southern Mississippi.
The Center provides
a maximum of five scholarships to finance majors each year. These
scholars maintain office hours in the Center and participate in
a variety of research projects designed to develop a stronger understanding
of personal finance and investing.
The 2005-06
scholarship recipients are as follows:
Tyler
Brady, a junior banking and finance major from Terry, is
working on a project that explores stock market reactions to “expert”
announcements where there really isn’t any new information provided.
He is the son of Ginny and David Bates of Byram and Mark and Yvonne
Brady of Brandon.
Patrick
Cannon, a senior personal financial planning major from
Diamondhead, is developing an annual report for the Student Investment
Fund. He is the son of John and Alisa Cannon.
Jerry

is working on a paper discussing techniques for managing concentrated
portfolios. He is the son of Neal Pou and Brenda Gordon-Pou of Meridian.
Justin
Oswalt, a senior marketing and personal financial planning
major, is researching the use of 529 College Savings Plans in estate
planning. He resides in Purvis with his wife, Nicole, and is the
son of Lee and Robin Oswalt of Hattiesburg.
Laura
Read, a senior banking and finance major from Hattiesburg,
is completing the Center’s student credit card debt research project
and hopes to demonstrate that some students are actually making
a good financial decision to take on some credit card debt if it
ultimately leads to positive future cash flows. She is the daughter
of Randy and Susan Read.
The Center for
Financial Services prepares students for careers in the financial
services industry and helps meet the demands for employees knowledgeable
in a full range of financial services. The Center’s lab houses a
student trading room that provides an active learning environment
for finance students.
