Donna A. Hubert Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Partners and Principals of Legacy Professionals LLP have established the Donna A. Hubert Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Donna was a 1979 graduate of the University of Illinois – Chicago, earning a degree in Accounting when women in the field were extremely rare. Donna devoted her career to Legacy and its predecessor firm, celebrating a 35th anniversary before her death. She was one of the Firm’s first female Partners and became the head of our Tax Department. Donna was a dear friend, smart as a whip, had a great sense of humor, and was a respected colleague to us all. Donna was a pioneer in the accounting field.

In Donna’s memory, the Donna A. Hubert Memorial Scholarship Fund offers an annual renewable scholarship to women interested in pursuing a career in accounting. Qualified applicants are undergraduate students enrolled at an accredited college or university, residing in either Illinois, Indiana, or Minnesota, pursuing an undergraduate degree in accounting, and have a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Accounting must be declared as the candidate’s major.
