AICPA Scholarships for Minority Accounting Students
The AICPA Scholarships for Minority Accounting Students provides competitive awards to outstanding full time undergraduate minority students at regionally accredited institutions to encourage their: selection of accounting as a major, entry into the profession and ultimately achieving the CPA designation. Full time graduate students (who are not CPAs) seeking a masters degree in accounting or taxation and students pursuing a masters in business administration, if their undergraduate degree is in accounting, are also eligible for this program.
Undergraduate students must have completed at least 30 semester hours or equivalent of college work, with at least six hours in accounting. All applicants must have an overall and accounting grade point average of at least 3.3. Awards are primarily based on merit (academic achievement). For purposes of this program, the AICPA defines minority students as those of Black, Native American, Pacific Island races, or of Hispanic ethnic origin. All applicants must be U.S. citizens.
The scholarships are awarded by the AICPA Minority Initiatives Committee and are funded by the AICPA Foundation from monies contributed by the AICPA, its members, public accounting firms, and others. The scholarships are awarded once each year (in August) for the following academic year. All application materials must be received by the AICPA by June 1 of each year.
The maximum award is $5,000 and over the past 10 years the AICPA has awarded more than $6 million in scholarships to minority students.
