Edit Maszlaver was awarded the 2015 District 12 Jane M. 
Klausman scholarship while pursuing a Master’s Degree in Professional Accountancy from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Her application was submitted by the Zonta Club of Denver.
Edit grew up in an Eastern European country, Hungary, and is still active with the Hungarian Society in Colorado. She also financed her education while working full time and raising two teenage children as a single parent. Edit stated, “Receiving the scholarship and not being deep in debt allowed me to choose an assignment not purely based on financial consideration, but based on usefulness to society, and that is something truly important to me.”
One of Edit’s professors at Metro State University of Denver stated in his recommendation: “Edit is an extremely intelligent, articulate, and well-mannered individual. She is also a critical and analytical thinker, and able to express her ideas clearly. In summary, Edit has the potential to go far in the accounting field. In fact, she is one of the best students I have ever had the pleasure to teach.”
Edit earned a B.S. in Business Management and an International Business Certificate in May of 2014 from Metropolitan State University. She then earned a Master’s of Professional Accountancy in December 2015.
Edit believes businesses often need to expand globally to stay competitive. She would like to be the person who helps companies grow their businesses internationally.
Additionally, because of her outstanding academic record, Edit went on to receive one of the Zonta International $8,000 Jane M. Klausman Women in Business scholarships.
