At Ketel Thorstenson, we are committed to serving and strengthening our communities. Which is why we have decided to launch the KT Scholarship, an accounting scholarship to provide financial assistance to students who plan to pursue a career in accounting.

The KT Scholarship is an accounting scholarship intended for individuals from the Black Hills area and the Gillette, WY area who are pursuing a 4-year degree in accounting. The goal is not only to support these students in achieving their academic dreams but also to encourage them to return to their communities and serve as leaders in the accounting field.

Our firm will award two scholarships in the amount of $2,500. This scholarship will be paid directly to the institution the student will be attending, helping to offset the cost of tuition and other educational expenses.
