NCACPA Foundation Scholarships
Each spring, the NCACPA Foundation awards approximately 40 merit-based scholarships to qualified accounting students in two- and four-year institutions throughout North Carolina.
The North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants (NCACPA) recognizes the extraordinary achievement, leadership and talent of minority students and offers scholarship opportunities through the NC CPA Foundation.
The competitive, merit-based scholarships are designed to reward and encourage the brightest and most talented minority accounting students by helping with tuition and paving the way for a future accounting career. The top award is $2,000, and subsequent awards are $1,000.
Scholarships are based on academic merit, extracurricular activities and a 500-word essay. The NC CPA Foundation and the Minority Action Committee encourage exceptional North Carolina minority accounting students to apply. The recipient of the top award will be recognized at NCACPA's annual meeting in May at the Grandover Resort & Conference Center, in Greensboro. Eligible applicants will receive a complimentary student membership in the association.
