UNC Kenan-Flagler's growing Master of Accounting (MAC) Program has long been recognized as one of the nation's top accounting programs, known for its 98 percent employment rate for graduates and powerful alumni network.

But despite strong employment outcomes, the national number of MAC enrollees is down 20 percent, largely due to rising tuition costs and a strong labor market for undergraduates.

Freddy '74 (B.S.B.A.) and Susan Robinson '73 decided to do something about that by creating the Freddy and Susan Robinson Scholarship in Accounting Fund – UNC Kenan-Flagler's first need-based scholarship specifically for the MAC Program.
