Scholarships for Accounting Students

Want more Debt's on your Balance Sheet?

With the recent enactment of new corporate accounting laws in the U.S., accounting degrees are in demand. There are three different classes of accountants to consider:

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA),
• Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and
• Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)

The degree requirements vary for each class. Students who earn degrees in accounting will study the aspects of managerial accounting, budgeting, financial analysis, auditing, taxation, and more.

College and Universites

The first place to look for scholarships is the financial aid office of the college you are attending or planning on attending. They have a list of specific scholarships for accounting students. I would also check the scholarships available for Business Students because accounting students are also business students.

General Scholarships available

Minority Scholarships available

For a list of general minority scholarship, please visit our minority scholarship sectionFellowship for Minority Doctoral Students (AICPA)

The AICPA Fellowship for \Minority Doctoral Students program ensures that CPAs of diverse backgrounds are visible in college and university classrooms to serve as role models and mentors to young people in planning their education and careers.
