The University of Georgia has received a $1 million donation to create an endowment for the accounting program in the Terry College of Business.

The Deloitte Foundation's donation will create annual funding to attract and retain quality faculty. It will also go to scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, who will be called Deloitte Foundation Scholars.

UGA's School of Accounting was one of the first in the nation to be established as a separate professional school within a college of business.
