Scholarship Information

Deadline is March 18, 2012 for all 3 scholarship categories.

Since 1967 the Alabama Society of CPAs’ Educational Foundation has been proud to provide accounting scholarships to qualified students. In 2012 we are making significant changes to these awards, changes which are solely due to the success of the 2011 Fortune Forward capital campaign to increase the Foundation’s endowment.

For academic year 2012/13 the scholarship amount will be $2500, an increase of $1000. Six of the $2500 scholarships will carry the name of the Educational Foundation as well as the firm or other entity which made a $50,000 donation to the campaign.

The ASCPA Educational Foundation will award the following in 2012

23 General Scholarships, one for each accredited accounting program in Alabama
4 new Ethnic Diversity Scholarships
2 new Financial Need Scholarships

The scholarships are awarded with the assistance of local chapters of the ASCPA. Some chapters also award their own scholarships; a single submission will make students eligible for both Educational Foundation and chapter awards. Don’t forget to have a sponsor signature on the application.

If you are a student who attends one of the qualifying universities / colleges , and meet the criteria for one of the scholarships, contact the faculty member listed. They have copies of the application form and can walk you through the submission process. Please make note of all required items and review carefully the criteria for ALL awards to ascertain which scholarship is best for you.
